Clicker Training with Minna #6 - Heel (Basic position to prevent pulling)

[mydogkanskidrums]

I like the clicker training, and am impressed by Sophia's exuberance for training, but the corrections are unneeded in this day and age, as is the metal collar. Simply turning in the opposite direction, or stopping, when the dog goes out of the heel correction is enough. Actually, if a dog goes out of the position regularly, it means the command hasn't been taught or proofed well enough, and you should shorten the length of times between rewards, and lower the criteria slightly.

What are you using for treats? Ziptie likes Ball Park hotdogs best. He does not get as excited over other brands.

Thanks for the compliment. Minna is turning into a great dog, and seems to respond best to clicker training. We will add more, stay tuned. Thx

This is what I'm going to do with my GSD. You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work

I hope you all enjoy the video. It worked for Minna, hopefully it works for your dog... We are now taking requests for videos...like the leash walking was a request. So if your dog needs work on a specific topic and we have not gone over it, please let us know, and we will try and make a video for it.
