Easy and quick dog and puppy training tips with video.
Teaching the heel position, which is just walking close to you, can be done without a lead on in your backyard or somewhere safe. Walk your dog with it on the left-hand side, giving treats every few steps. It’s important there are no distractions. Next, put a lead on and continue the training.
Puppy Training Video – Teaching Your Dog How To Heel
If your puppy is too young to start with us or you are waiting for the next introduction class here are some videos to help you get started. The puppy in the video is a four month old Standard Poodle called Phoenix who belongs to Wendy, our Dog Tracks editor.
Many thanks to Kumalong Australia, who supplies us with a beautiful range of collars, leads and harnesses, who made these videos.
