Dog Training - The Heel Command

[astralman77]

great video... thanks for sharing!

[Mnikita7cool]

theres 1 thing ur forgetting, is u have to keep on saying the command so that the dog remembers the word and knows what to do when the command is given verbally without u holding a treat in ur hand when it comes to taking him/her on walks.

dog traing



[TheJustinbeiber90]

some times my dad calls my dog and he dosnt want to come and he gets agervated he will come if he wants to but my dad gets mad when he doesnt how do i teach him to come no matter how he is feeling???????

[1Mom2One]

I like it but what do I do with my chi? He's too short (or I'm too tall lol).

[StLCardsGuy]

There is no better trained dog than a service dog.

[ClarkNotKent]

Im going to try this on my dog. Shes a 4 year old german shepherd that was never really trained and so far i have gotten her to sit and lay down. This will be great because she is a strong dog but the treats work well on the other tricks

[Mman731]

How do you use a food lure on a very small or short dog. I need to walk bent over or else the dog cant smell the food

[Mman731]

How do you use a food lure if you have a very small (short dog) ? I have to bend over all the time or walk bent over

[vaughan4082]

ahh thats clever will that work for off leash too?

[giantsfan245]

remember these videos on youtube are not meant to be indepth, step by step training videos per se. If he put those up for free, he'd be out of business(kinda like napster). His vids are more principal based vids and from what I've seen and heard, his methods are very effective.

[eletendre1]

@giantsfan245 THANKS giantsfan245!!!

[cowgirl9125]

@eletendre1 ok i have a golden retiver and some how she gets out of any other collar except a choke chain how should i get her to lean to wear the others??? P.s. she can break her choke chain to!!!!!!.......

[sxcelite12]

what is a good for the dog that you can use as food lure?

[Rylonde]

jUST REMEMBER THERE NO ABSOLUTES, A GOOD TRAINER USES ALL THE TOOLD CORRECTLY.

[PaCkMaN74262]

this is pretty nice my dog will stop pulling on his leash any when i try this

[ScarletMai]

nice!! :) thanks for the video!

[semco72057]

My dog has learned to shake hands easily, although he thinks that he should softly bite your hand when you shake him front paw. He is only 5 months old now and I was working with sit which didn't he didn't get. I am still working on that, but he wants to play all the time.

[rack325i]

My trainer told me if you teach your dog to shake hands, you shouldn't allow him to do it with the alpha of the pack because it makes the dog think that it is dominant over the alpha. My doberman will do it with my girlfriend, but not with me and it is a good thing

[semco72057]

Thanks for telling me that. I will work on the other techniques you mentioned earlier. I have a new leach to lead him around and work on training him to heel and sit. Thanks for the tip.

[rack325i]

No problem, I am by no means a trainer but my Dobie does listen to me when she wont listen to anyone else. Good luck!

[semco72057]

Thanks. I will need it with this puppy.

[semco72057]

How old should a dog be before you start training them? I have a puppy which is 5 months old, although he is very large right now. I have been working with him to get him to sit. He knows how to shake, but wants to bite playfully on the hand when you shake.

[jasonman1515]

my dog does that. you should start training your dog right now. dog doesn't like when you are trying to hold his paw. I train my dog not to bite and it is not hard at all.

[ArmorKingRulez]

I think the First command to start with a dog

Is Sit,followed by Stay,Come When Called,and Heel.

Not to much on Shake though.

[HeavensQT1]

How do I teach a super tiny dog this? Would i just bend down the whole time and walk like that or do you have another method for small breed dogs like Chihuahuas? Thanks!

[TheShrub87]

very good information... thanks... you are the next Dog Whisperer

[johnsonarcher]

All I have ever done is take the dogs for walks making them heel.  I just keep saying heel over and over and forcing him to walk there with an 18" leash. After two or three walks like that they get it down with no problem.

[jessekarate08]

i don't know why but my saint has always walked bside me and I never trained him or put a leash on hin we can walk though the city with know problem .

[lappleton404]

great training tips

[CapstoneRetrievers1]

I'm a pretty successful retriever trainer, so I must be doing something right. NOBODY worth a heck uses a e-collar to teach the heel command. I use a collar and a 6 foot leash to teach heel and there's no e-collar pressure or any other kind of pressure, but there's no food reward either. At the end of the training session the retrievers get to retrieve a bumper or a duck dummy...that's the reward.

[eletendre1]

You've just made my point my friend. The dog is always working to get something or avoid something. You're dog is working to get the bumper or duck dummy. It's the same as working for food.

Peace,

Eric

P.S. You have a nice website!

[CapstoneRetrievers1]

No disrespect intended, but food rewards is wrong. Then you don't train the dog to listen to the command you teach the dog food food food. And you teach the dog listen to the command and you get food not listen to the command because I'm the pack leader.

[eletendre1]

No disrespect intended but you really, really don't know what you're talking about. Behavior is all about consequences. You go to work every week because you get a paycheck. When you're training your retrievers you are applying some type of consequence. The dog is either working to get something (treat) or working to avoid something (stimulation from an electronic collar). It's that simple.

[TheTurnersJourney]

@eletendre1 Best reponse ever. Im so tired of watching training videos and seeing someone say you shouldnt treat your dog when she does something right... and your relation to us working and getting paid is awesome. People saying to not treat to train in rediculous!

[manof34holds]

@TheTurnersJourney Yeah eletendre1 had a great response. Very friendly about it! Gotta love that! Unfortunately, some people just don't understand that there are different ways to get things done. Wonder what Capstone does when there's bumperto bumper traffic just 3 exits away from his home? He probably sits there for an hour instead of exiting asap and finding another path. :)

[lolalitalu]

@CapstoneRetrievers1 I completely agree with u! If dogs learn by using treats, then they won't understand that YOU are the boss and they will begin to believe that they are doing the commands to get a treat. If you're out on the street and the dog's going crazy, then you won't be able to stop him if you use treat training.

[knash92293]

oh my god that dog is such a cutie!!, and i really like your training tips, there so much better and nicer to the dogs as well as more effective then most videos on here!!

[siese08]

At what age does it start becoming difficult to train dogs, or does it ever become hard at all? I just adopted a ten month old pup from the humane society, and she's a sweetheart, but she needs a little training. She jumps and pulls on the leash like the dogs do in these videos. Will it be more difficult to train her if she's a little older than other puppies that are learning these tricks?

[CryWolf915]

at what age do u suggest working on this command???? 2 months or so....?

[Lumileek]

You just have to lean a lot:D Not easy for your back I can tell you :P

[fungalonlywithjesus]

but what if your dog,like say mine, is really small (shih tuz) compared to you? its not the easy

[Kuba77]

You're the best! Thank you!

[Six2Ten]

i have a questions. how can i train this command with a smaller dogs? like mini pinscher, chihuahua,etc.

wouldnt it be hard to train this with a smaller dogs?

[MrBee718]

Thanks...I will try this...

[dionysusdevotee]

Hi there,

Nice set of videos. I'd like to see something on barking. I'd like to learn how to get my dog to quit barking at "nothing" and how to bark on command.

[SilvaraBlade]

Find something that does motivate them. Toys, games, treats etc. Verbal praise or physical affection works too.

[echoskybound]

Very great... but do you know what to do with a dog who doesn't eat treats, like mine? lol

[allmightybrian]

you r good r you a dog lol

[sara2618]

Thanks, will try this technique with my beagle that loves to pull on her leash,lol. ;D

[eletendre1]

Your welcome and please let me know how you make out.

Eric

[abcgoldens]

You get it! 5 stars plus...

[guitarlix]

Very clear, lucid training. I love your videos!

[suedesammi]

Thank You!

[eletendre1]

Sammi is a Shetland Sheepdog.

[dready187]

what abt to watch when he is heeling..instead of just being at your side..how do you teach them to do that

[tunnytunnytunny]

good job and i was wondering what breed is your dog?

[BaileysMom02126]

we have been trying this technique for months, however Bailey in not very food driven..he is too focused on toys, so that really isn't an option. any other ideas?

Thanx

[abcgoldens]

Yes! This dog trainer gets it. 5 stars...

[ub3rj]

should you be outside where you dog can be distracted or inside a place where your dog can not be distracted?

[eletendre1]

First work inside, and as your dog progresses and understands that you want him to be right at your side, then you can move outside where there are more distractions.

Once your dog learns that being at your side is where all the "good things" take place, you can fade out the food lure and instead occasionally reward with a treat for being at your side.

Hope this helped. Thanks for watching!

[chrismichalek]

Good job on that one.

[ozwrangler]

Helpful introduction to walking on leash. Thanks. Like the +ve method.

[dabmasta]
