Heel Command in Dog Obedience Training

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I am Carl Puentes from K-9 Solutions in Miami, Florida and today I am going to show you dog training techniques from my new book, "Who is Training Whom." Okay for heel the dog on your left hand side, this is where his head should be for heel. Here he is too far away. You give him a pinkie and he will take your whole hand. Little bit later he is like Scooby Dooby Doo, right again pulling you. This is no good either. He is too far away. Heel is right here and he should maintain himself there whether he walks fast or slow. When you are going to turn, you know you are going to turn but the dog doesn't. So say his name, Deno. Yeah, what do you want? Deno, heel. Good boy! Good heel! Deno, heel. Good boy! Deno, sit. Good! If not you will be pulling the dog everywhere. You need to say his name first, two steps later turn. As you say heel, eventually he is going to look at your leg and figure let me obey the command. I don't have to be pulled everywhere and I can please my owner. "
