Teach Your Dog to Heel in 6 Easy Steps

[kutanra]

Step 5 is superfluous, you can skip it, but the rest is great. Remember that it will take time, and it may seem like each walk you have to start again but they will eventually get the hang of it

❤ Wow! That was superbly accomplished. Your darling poochie was cute to begin with, now he/she looks so precious being such an obedient self composed puppy ❤ 🎉

Instead of a "reminder" you can simply stop walking forward and "deny" access to the walk. Call the puppy back to get it back into position and reward for that position. The continue the walk. Same result and less force.

How long do you do that exercise your doing in this video like in a single setting?

Just a reminder for everyone this is a puppy which is an easier to train for the time being. So if you try this on your 2 years old or anything not puppy it’ll take a little longer before they grasp the concept unlike a puppy.

What if my dog sits to screw his kibble/treat and break the heel? 😅 every single time he gets it he sits to eat slowly lol

My coltriever very quickly noticed that if she pulls the leash then the walk isn't enjoyable at all.

Aw he really lost the enthusiasm towards the end there, I was loving his enthusiasm

[yellowgoddess]

My dog knows how to heel he just hasn't been doing it lately. Is there a way I can reenact this engagement from him without too much rewarding?

[IamWanderwoman]

I think that's just called walking on a leash. Heel is when he's by your leg.

My dog is good with following but hes not good at keeping his head up

[zonepistolez]

I did none of these. My dogs walk fine. I do the stop and go, yank em in place, have them sit, then walk. Repeat. No joke here.

I don’t believe in giving treats to train a dog. Praises helps you bond with the dog and releases natural Endorphine in their brain
