How To Clicker Train "Heel" Position (Dog Training)

[TheGermanShepfan]

Ok do you know how some people turn in circles one way and then turn in circles the other way and the dog stayes next to them? I have seen it when the dog can go backwards heeling. it's kindof hard to explain, im sorry if you don't understand what im talking about. but I don't know how to train my dog to heel backwards.

[pawwbla]

This combines with your previous video sounds really cool. I never tried to teach heeling because I didn't know a non-cohersive method for a precise heeling.

Two questions:

1) Have you done any video with you starting to walk with you dog? If not, I'd really appreciate it.

2) Do you have verbal cues for right and left side? If so, which are them?

PS. Are you working with socks only? Hahaha, I do the same!

[SexySheerah]

I tried the food method. It only worked as long as there were treats. :( After the treats were gone my puppy just ignore me again. What am I going to do then?

[RealAviatorOSR]

@SexySheerah You should combine food reward with praise or a toy, after your puppy does something you want him to do the first time give him food, then the second time just praise him. It's going to take a lot of repetitiveness but eventually he should realize that food won't always come, but he will get a positive reward. Mix it up

Hi I am train a Golden Retriver but he is so stuborn tha he just don´t want to listen. I´m not werry paitent but I am trying to calm him down.

[FvckOffDorks]

@TheFanneyErla try to train your dog when he's bored :D he will listen to you more.. you'll notice it :D

[XxBanDitXx77]

wat type of food do you use? their small and well the ones i use are like long and i got to cut em up and its hard

[gsd767]

Lovely. Looking gsd I have 2 Sophie and kaizer

[dsostringbean]

I am so glad that I am not crazy. My dog is so smart and usually very quick to learn, but "heel" is absolutely confusing her. So today I made it so that she was between me, a wall, and the corner so there is NO WAY she can be in the wrong position. I'm so happy to see a similar thing in this video!

[Merleus]

This doesnt work on my dog. He just sits infront of me and wont follow the treat around. I had the chair next to me and tried to do it the exact same way

[dodgerbuddy7]

I not only LOVVVE your videos but even the format is great. You are quick and to the point. You show how to do the training with a dog and you are great at explaining the concept.

Thanks for posting them. I will definitely come back and watch more!!

[MadaraPeinNaruto]

My dog is afraid of the clicker (loud noises in general) so Is it possible just to use treats?

[screamingpiano]

@MadaraPeinNaruto You could mute the clicker by putting a bit of poster tack in the clicker's dimple. I think they also sell clickers that make a quieter sound. Or you can use your voice "yes" instead of a clicker.

[rachelrosss]

@MadaraPeinNaruto you could just use your voice and say "yes"..but my dog was super afraid of the clicker too in the beginning. We had gotten a refular box clicker which are suuper loud. I found a softer one (a black one from petco) and started clicking it behind my back so it would be even softer. He'd still jump in the beginning, but would stay cuz he knew treats were coming lol Now he's not scared of it at all :)

[09alainah]

i cant do it,,,bhut i try my best :))

[bemdav]

Your dog training methods are amazing, I just got a new dog, probably 7 months old and it was kinda hard to train her but with your tutorials it's nice and easy :) Thank you!

[josski32]

I LOVE SOLEAS EARS :))))

[josski32]

tab where do u get a treat baggie thingg.

[Bonesndelta]

What if your dog isn't into treats or if you don't want to use treats?

[otttopotahto]

@Bonesndelta It's the same concept. You can use a toy or anything that your dog wants and do the same as what he's shown you here. Then when you lure your dog into position with the toy etc, when you CLICK or say "YES" throw the toy or let them tug (and win). You're still rewarding the dog for something they want when they preform the behavior YOU want. =]

[josski32]

Tab: solea is gorgeous. Also, is this part 2 of ur other heeling vid?

[monkeybuisness98]

How do you potie train ur dog.?

[LauraBoivin]

Thank you ...great video demonstrations.

[blackbetty101]

this might sound dumb,,, but have you ever found that one dog that you teach a trick to then teaches your other dogs to do the same?

[babyramey69]

what treat u useing. im trying too Train my dog too do that but im useing slimgim it dont work for her

[mcqueeney]

Fab!!



[Peachietube]

Where can you get a clicker?

[magicalcrazyness]

@Parris217 Yes, you start out using the clicker (or whatever marker you use, mine is verbal) and use it to teach the behavior. Once the dog understands the behavior you add the cue/command. Reward throughout those stages. Then once you feel your dog has really gotten it down, fade out the treats and not treat all the time but still praise verbally. However it would be best to do refreshers and practices at home with treats to make sure the command is still reinforced. I hope that helps

[vidgirl4444]

does this work for a chihuahua? also how about heel walk??? how you do that?

[TheGermanShepfan]

Amazing Tab! Azkaban immediatley caught on! we lost our clicker, but it doesnt seem to affect azkaban's learning:)

[p0werj]

Hello, your videos are very detailed and i enjoy so much see your videos.

Iam from portugal, sorry for my bad english.

If you can response, i have aquestion for you:

When my dog can make the comand side with the moviment of the hand, and with the verbal comand, i remove the food?

And the clicker? In the street i dont go with the clicker :S

Thanks, João

[WhyWouldYaDoThat]

I really like your vids. finally there is a good way to train dogs without having to pull the leash hard or shout at the dog for nothing, cause I really didn't like the old ways :)

So , THANKS FOR SHARING !!

[Hmenzi222]

i love your vids! thanks for all of them you've posted. my dog is so well behaved now.

[barsakus]

This was a truly amazing demonstration - the best I have seen so far! Thanks, tabb

[PetTrainingProgram]

[krypto31o]

When i try to make my dog go around me with a treat he doesn't follow it. He just sits down and thinks ill give it to him if he sits.

Help me.....

[ShelterDogs]

It's a good video, well produced, edited. Training is spot on. One problem: the name of your channel. It seems so random. It's not something people will remember.

[20hanban]

your a great trainer and solea obviously loves and trusts you alot.please may you do a video on how to train them to sit pretty?

[SuperAnamkhan]

you are Awsome trrainer... better then ny bdy tht i have come across in last 1 year...

[mrernfuller]

these videos are very good, thank you, keep it up!

[SUPERMANGO19]

OMG. THANK YOU.

your videos on dog training are amazing. so detailed and to the point.

i just joined a petsmart training class, and they dont even teach as well as you do!

i think i might withdraw! haha

ive only be to one class though XD

thank you so much!

my dog doesnt seem to follow my hand with the treat.

how do you think i can make it work?

[tab289]

@SUPERMANGO19 Sometimes you can encourage luring by initially rewarding the dog for just looking at the treat. Raise that criteria slowly, and next click only for a tiny movement towards it, even if it's just a centimeter. Soon you can work your way up to luring for longer distances.

[StefyStuff]

@tab289 are you the dog whisperer's son?

[MizBlueEyed]

how old should the pup be before teaching him this?

[Tallahassee97]

What do you give your dog for treats?

[nowalkrun2]

what is the name of that treats plz ...

[issie49]

This is such a great help to me to teach my Rough collie Shylah to heel very close to me and no lead on Solea great. I am in a wheel chair and it is hard to do some things I see from my wheels but this will really help me.Wwould you train just this all week or do other traning as well? I am never quite sure how many things to train daily.

I think you are both great

issie Shylah

[tab289]

@issie49 I personally like to work on a few different things per day so that it doesn't get boring. Just like if we were to play the same game all day everyday, we would get pretty tired of it! At the same time, we don't want to work on too many things at once either. It all depends on you and your dog and I'm sure you'll be able to determine how much you can work on and keep her interested :)

[daryl152]

This is awesome! But what if my dog doesnt follow the treat? I used a leash on her, but i dont know if its effective. Its harder. what do u suggest?

[OsbourneChin]

I love your videos man... keep em coming!

[99NYEK]

Yay! We've been looking forward to this video!  Thanks Tab, Solea is looking beautiful!!

[IRsuperman]

works great! it's funny tho b/c every time he has a leash on... and I say heel... he wraps the leash around me! But I'm happy that he takes his place by my side! thanks!

[TheGymlovers1]

great video!!! i'm definitely going to try this with my dog :]

[JohnGross019]

Thanks! Really very great video, like all of your vids! Thanks

[OfirTurcan]

Cool video, I will certainly try this now on Takila, and after Heel we will try loose walking. Thanks Tab and Solea

[DaCrystalPup]

I love this video. I'll be watching for more heeling videos by you. I mean my GSD mix doesn't understand that no pull means no pull!

I'll use this video.

[elisahafdis]

great job as usual ! I love your videos! they are so understandable

[spikyskate5o1]

love the new intro

[Suffix95]

I once took a class in everyday obedience with one of our pups. They taught the exact same heel position, by instructing us to have the dog on leash and pull it around your back to the right side. This method is however a lot better, and it's also the method I've used :)

Great video once again, tab! Solea is gorgeous!

- Nenne, Della, and Cherie

[tab289]

@Suffix95 Isn't it always so much better when the dog chooses to do it? Learning is just way faster and better retained that way.

[Suffix95]

@tab289 That's right! It also keeps the dog happy and positive to get to try out different things on it's own, instead of having the trainer jerking it around and showing it what to do with force.

[anneandresen1]

great video:)

[tdfn]

Thank you always for your informative video! I love your video and cute Solea.

[Besharm]

finally a vid, you need to put more up! how have you been man! ciao

[KIBAfang90]

I really needed this video! Thanks lots! Liberty says hi!

[psustudent919]

man you're dog's really smart (and has a good parent/trainer as well obv.) dogs are such a smart, intelligent species in general and its always great to see them learn different tricks thru training, figure things out and do what you want them to do.

[hinano316]

[MuttVids]

I love your vids! Awesome Tut..

[regelemufasa]

oooo I'm the first to view this :))
