Dog heel train: beneficial for dog and the owner both
13/12/2011 12:43Learning how to dog heel train comes in handy while trying to abstain from the frustration that can be caused during the walk or stroll with your pet. When knowing how to make the pet heel, it is crucial that you stand with the pet. The dog needs to be positioned beside you, in the left side and thus you should be set with its favorite treat, somewhat elevated so that the pet cannot reach and grab it.
Remember that you use proper eye contact with the dog. You can do so by calling its name. Proper eye contact ensures that the pet realizes that it is being called and that you want it to perform some task or obey some command. Try to take some steps forward and then stop, increase these steps as the dog progresses.
Making the eye contact is important as it is crucial to call the dog’s name and attract his attention. Once you do thus, move some steps ahead. In case the dog stays closer to you, without getting distracted, you can reward it with some treat.
Then extend your steps and take the dog for some long walks in your home in heel position. As you get sure that the pet has mastered the dog heel train command, take it for the heel walks in the garden or park.
The heel command is thus used to bring the pet owner as well as the dog closer to one another. The best thing about this dog training is that it allows both the owner and the dog to indulge in some healthy, physical exercise.
