One Way to Teach Your Dog the Heel Position

July 2, 2019 By Duke Ferguson 2 Comments

There are many ways to teach your dog to come into the heel position. This one is easy to do and you do not need any other tools to help you. Just food and a leash!

If your dog does not understand this position it will be harder to get the dog to heel properly while walking.

Motion is the next step but far too many people skip this first step.

Enjoy this video featuring  Unleashed Potential New Jersey

    Put the food reward in your palm not fingers and palm it like feeding a horse. Like you see in the picture. One thing you can try is to not have any food in your hand just the smell of it. lure the dog with just the scent than when the dog is in position say “BREAK” and then reach in the pouch and toss the food. There are other ways to get the dog to take food easier but that is for another video.

    I have watched this video several times and I am getting the ‘dance move’ but my problem is giving the treat to my two year old rescue GSD. I cannot get her to take a treat without grabbing my fingers too. it has come up with the sit and down command but really is preventing us from getting anywhere with this ‘heel’ video. Is there a suggestion or another video you can advise? I feel that this dog is really trying to do as asked, but we are not making much headway with the treat handling. She is actually getting worse because we are in the stages where we are trying to mark behaviours with food and she is getting TOO enthusiastic.
