Thanks for the video. I have a 7-year-old shepherd who heels off-leash quite well - until there is a distraction, although she'll go right back on heel when it's brought to her attention. This video is a good reminder to go back to basics on all things related to "weak areas."
A clicker isn't necessarily needed. He is using the same concept by using his voice, instead of a clicker, by marking the correct behavior with, "good, or good girl ". That "marks" the behavior and allows her to know she is likely to receive reinforcement, the same way a clicker would. A clicker is most effective for precision for complex behaviors. But a voice marker can always be used
This was extremely helpful. What if you don't have a nice classroom to train in and if you have 2 dogs? I think I'm going to have to train the dogs outside, if only so I can separate the two dogs. But I'll try it anyway. Thanks.
i have a 4 month old blue nose puppy he is huge for his age i crate train him and im having alot of issues when i walk him he drags me when i introduce him to people he jumps and is very excited and sometimes nips i am working on that ive tryed this exercise and nothing !! he just takes the treat once he has done it and then leaps foward and starts dragging
@raneve23 it depends on the shooter..im right handed so my duck dog heels on my left..and like my buddy is left handed..so his lab heels on his right..you never want to shoot on your dogs side
There's something about a guy (especially such a tough looking one) telling a dog "good girl" in such an enthusiastic way that makes me so happy. This video is educational, helpful, and adorable. Wish me luck with my new monster - a 16 month old lab/greyhound mix!!
@macdasi AKC standards require that the dog be on your left...the reason for this was back in the day gentlemen carried thier gun on the right so the dog stayed on the left to avoid getting shot!
Excellent video, =o] I've been working with dog's (mainly staffordshire's and pitt bull type's) for a number of year's now, mostly removing agressive tendancy's (I look for aggresive/problematic dog's who would otherwise have unhumane end to life) I am looking to set up a training scheme, for teachin dog's basic command's such as heal, sit, stay, lay down, crawl etc, as I have been training my own pup, what kind of equipment's etc would I need, I will be initially starting off at home, thank's
can you look at my video called Banjo Heel and see if i am doing anything wrong?i have a feeling i am and i really want to know!!please message me or just reply to this if i did anything wrong in teaching banjo to heel!!what a cute puppy by the way!!you seem like an amazing fantastic dog trainer!
@VituMV This video is an example of a typical session. You want to end the session before the dog gets board. You can do 1 or multiple sessions per day depending on your schedule. A good idea is to do a session before each meal, since that is when dogs will be most motivated for treats.
i tried this n ma dog snatched the whole treat out my back pocket lol. time to switch pocket

It used to have to do with people carrying guns and not getting shot. In reality though, you can do it on either side.

Now if I train this maybe 4 times a day for about 30min each time, is there going to be an issue of giving to many treats that will make my dog sick?

How do you get your puppy to focus in you or stare at you while heeling? Thanks Ben from toronto
