| HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DOG TO HEEL | ||||||
| Using a leash and jerking your dog's neck is not necessary to train him to heel. Tasty treats and an abundance of praise will usually do the trick. STEP ONE Have your dog on your left side, facing the same direction as you. STEP TWO In your left hand hold food in front of your dog's nose. STEP THREE Give the command "Heel" and begin taking steps while keeping the treat in front of your left hip. STEP FOUR Note that it may take several attempts to keep your dog focused on the food. STEP FIVE Say the word "Good" at the exact time your dog walks as you walk. STEP SIX Give your dog the food along with and abundance of praise for even the slightest show of understnading. STEP SEVEN Train in short, 5-minute intervals throughout the day. STEP EIGHT Be very patient and positive, and have fun. |
