Dog Training : How to Train Your Dog to Heel

[lifterguy]

I think there's a good, contemporary, reason to teach your dog to heal on the left. If you live in North America or other parts of the world where people drive on the right, and you walk your dog along a road without a sidewalk, you should be walking on the left, facing traffic. In that situation, I would always want my dog on my left - away front the oncoming cars.

[E4ST3RS]

I don't like the idea of treats, then the dog is obeying you to get a treat, not because they want to please you.

[samarsanderz]

@E4ST3RS Well would you work at your job without a paycheck?

[ShadowCrashed81]

"i'm a professional dog trainer"

oh her parents must be so proud.

[JJGuardian]

There is far too much focus on the technique here. There is nothing wrong with it. Schutzhund training teaches a Schutzhund heel in EXACTLY the same way except they hold the reward (Ball or treat) at the trainers chin to hold the dogs attention on the trainers face at all times.

For heel work I prefer a mix of prey drive stimulation, compulsion training and treats but at the end of the day its which ever technique acheives the communication goal. A leash should be used though to ensure attention

[DustyBoi843]

Its the left so that spent shells don't hit them..not so they wont get shot. Most guns eject shells to the right

[BennyDACHO]

The thing with giving your dogs treats is that it gives you a fake sense of the dog learning faster, but with time it starts to learn slower, and it only obeys you to get that treat.

If you are strict, firm, and use praise with your dog he will obey and respect you much more in the long run, and learn faster eventually.

[BennyDACHO]

I hate when people give their dogs treats to teach them. It's simply the wrong way of teaching a dog. You think the pack leader out in nature gave his subordinates dogs treats? No, of course not. They respected him, and had confidence that his leadership would result in their survival.

This video is useless. I actually did an experiment with my two German shepherds. One was trained strictly with praise and punishment, and the other one with treats. Guess which dog respected me more?

[Odhinn222]

A waste of time. First off, the dog looks a bit too young to be taught to heel, as it requires a strict correction. Check out the Koehler method. If your someone who wants your dog to think like a human and make him a neurotic, then it is not for you, stay with her method. If you want to think the way your dog thinks, so s/he can understand, then use Koehler.

[desolate2]

@dogwhisperer2 Of course she hasn't. The dog is all over the place & unfocused. It's obvious it was showed this trick before. It's as jumpy & floppy as my puppy is, She doesn't know how to heel either.

[desolate2]

@desolate2 *wasn't

[desolate2]

This was awesome

[MissMochibon]

do you have any suggestions for training a dog that bolts or chokes itself on a leash

[ashdawn505]

0:00

[damiandrifts]

that looks just like my puppy

[PotatoMasher1234]

@dogwhisperer2 thats like a 6 month old dog, its pretty impressive they could get it that sedated in the first place let alone train it on the spot, anyways i choose to take her word that the dog has never heeled before

[tingkagol]

this girl sounds like Bonnie McFarlane

[Xials]

What do you mean 'back in the day'? I'm a gentleman and I still carry my gun on the right.

[alexnds1]

this is merely the attention getting phase. without attention, no other behavior is able to be taught. This trainer is teaching that staying with handler is met with food reward and thus, engagement is rewarded. This dog is untrained. Long way to go before finished exercise is shown.

[OlDirtyBizza]

Would it not be better to say "Heel" instead of "Yes" that way the dog knows what how to respond when you give the command, because if you say yes when he sits and yes when he heels how does the dog know what he is being rewarded for. thats just my thought let me know if im wrong ^^

[alexnds1]

@OlDirtyBizza Heeling is a complex exercise. It's taught in 5 steps. the front-sit is a step. The "finish" of the dog coming around your back to the left leg is step. The walking in same pace as handler is step. The right turn and left turn and the about turn are all taught separately and individually. All steps are then combined for the finished exercise. Heel is a position, of walking on left leg, and standing on left leg. So in clicker training, behavior is taught first, and finished below

[damiandrifts]

@alexnds1 very interesting and very helpful

[alexnds1]

@OlDirtyBizza No, the way clicker training works, oryou first teach the "cue", which is the click or the word "yes", without any behaviour associated with the word. Not yet. You are not associating behavior with word just yet. That's done later. All your are initially doing is getting the "reward word" in place, and the "release command" in place also, so that later on, when teach the actual stuff, you have taught the reward wrd, the release from command word, and the attention getting phase.

[shonalawrence]

The dog is already trained,

[MrSuperhhh]

@shonalawrence not well

[xZZNSx]

@shonalawrence no shit

[Sallybunckle]

As a "Professional Dog Trainer" I think you look ordinary.

Even puppies should learn to "Heel" by the handlers side. Not three feet away. As your about to stop you take a side step to the left, then as you reward you take another step closer to the dog. So your puppies is in fact not leading correctly as you claim.... 3.18 side step closer 3.20 another step closer again. 3.26 side step closer 3.27 another step closer again. Sorry but your not a Pro. Stop calling yourself that.

[Jrwin90]

@Sallybunckle pretty sure training dogs is how she makes a living, so yeah, she is a professional dog trainer. i would actually prefer my dog to be a step away from me and not right by my side.

[chrisromo7]

what kind of food was she using

[eLLgrd]

@dogwhisperer2

I would like so to! I'm watching all theese videos to learn something but all the dogs seems to allready know what to do :(

[Tutovillage]

Ah, Actually what is the marker sound you using? A clicker sound or your voice?

0:34 you used "yes" as marker

1:01 here you used "clicker" sound as marker

Too bad

[karanryder]

sexciiiiiiiii !!!!!!!!

[Majition]

My puppy is so stubborn, and will lose focus at almost anything, any tips on how to get him to focus wen im training him? i already tried the kissing noises and he acts like he cant even hear me...

[2zaci2]

@Majition have you tried working with him in another environment? for example a room where he usually gets bored, because he knows it well? Than you can work towards a more "interesting" environment (adding new objects to the room, new room, outdoors). If it doesn't work outside than you just keep coming back in until he learns that you actually have a interesting toy/treat. Its hard to keep any dog focused if other things are more interesting than you, especially when you first start out.

[Majition]

@2zaci2 thanx, i will try it :D

[suppusan1]

once again, expetvillage fails to teach me :(

[Jicim]

they dont hunt in the real world?

[bwsrabbitry]

You should always start on leash... I am just saying because if your dog is to far out that isnt "correct:" heeling...

[realAmerican1969]

How to you train a dog that is not food or toy motivated?

[thestahnkman]

@realAmerican1969 it is best to be a pack leader to your dog and once you have accomplished that position, it is best to use affection as a reward. dogs like a good pat on the back.

[xXFumbles16Xx]

@dogwhisperer2 yeah that would be very helpful wouldnt it

[MizBlueEyed]

whats with the clicking? it would be annoying

[crestviewdogcare]

@MizBlueEyed google clicker training. It's a teaching technique.

[abratamar]

@MizBlueEyed she's clicker training, it's a way to train a dog.

[tbone13022]

whats with the words over the video. how do i remove so i can see

[kappucinokiss1]

@tbone13022 at the bottomw right hand corner is a CC in red ,,click on that :)

[Gandalf606]

cant see a damned thing!!!

[LionessCub1]

people seem to forget that not every method will work with every dog..... She is just offering one method that generally works for her. You should always cater your training techniques to the individual dog that you're training. Some dogs could care less about treats, but would go nuts for a tug toy or a ball.

[blahblablalltimelow]

good video except at the end she is rewarding the dog for sitting not healing...

[zaalias]

I wonder if Bucksy would start to run like hell on a leash, would it rip the hell out of your pants?. Just wondering.

[hawkaholic33]

I hope you know there is actually people who have ADD who take that offensively. Also next time use a dog that isnt already trained.

[hamza95s]

what food are you using?



[MyHamsterTV]

a dog is only as good as there owner

[jameskoolkat]

she's an idiot

[MrGordonification]

is this dog training or human training?

[WhatsYD]

My dog isn't interested in the food unless it is right in front of his face... I try to get his attention but he is more interested in walking, cars, grass etc but if the food is put in front of him he goes straight for it but if I pull away or hold it above him he will just ignore me.. I'm really get frustrated because he never does as he is told when I walk him but inside the house he always does what he is told..

[mebeAvi]

What type of dog is she?

[ChicagoK9Gal]

Check out my videos, I have a heeling video WITHOUT TREATS, one with a Doberman and one with a Malinois. Should be started ON leash.

[cynthy123]

@MrKevinMorrison

well i tried that before . he gets really pissed off that he just sit there or he barks at you

[cynthy123]

i have a corgi mix and hes like really hipper, hell listen to you when he wants to and if you have food for him. when i take him out for a dog walk, he pulls me instead for me pulling him what should i do to make him listen to me when i god walk him?

[MrKevinMorrison]

@cynthy123 turn around and go the other way when he starts to pull you.  Static training collar is good for when they arent wanting food :)

[DoggyDogma]

@cynthy123

1. Get a front clip harness - this changes the area of pressure on the dog & can calm them down,

2. STOP WALKING when the dog is pulling you, as the front clip harness helps bring the dogs shoulders back towards you give the dog a cue - I say "off the lead" meaning I want a loose lead.

3. once the lead has some slack again, begin to walk in the opposite direction and say "let's go"

Repeat when the dog pulls - even if you only get to take one step in each direction at first.

[DoggyDogma]

@cynthy123 if a dog is to focused on the food it is generally because the owner hasn't learned about "variable-ratio schedule" this means you don't treat the dog every time he sits, after they learn sit you mix it up, maybe after every 4th sit you give a treat, or after 10 sits you can treat think of a slot machine they don't pay every time you pull the handle, but they pay out enough every now and then to keep you pulling that handle... it makes you more interesting if you are not predictable.

[melissaanddiego]

My dog is the same way. We started with getting her not to pull on the leash by bumping her on the chest when she gets too far forward with my foot and use the command "hey". I will also do speed changes as well as stop and go alot. I've also taught her "back up" with this method. If she really isn't listening on the walk, i will use my knee and give her a hip check.... it gets her attention on me and breaks her focus on whatever else she was looking at. good luck

[choke1312]

How to do that with hasky?

[nicolenadia1]

I'd like to see her train a 100 lb german shepard and see what happens when the dog bites her hand off for the treat and runs away.....

[FerchuPivots]

lol i have a 2 month old german shepard and each day its teeth ar harder or it just trys to bite me more and ive had it for 4 days

[Lillsneakynun]

My German Shepherd also thinks that the game is to try to bite my hand off for the treat when I try to train like this. I'm having a heck of a time training her to heel. She know's how to do it, she just refuses.

[padmajules]

I'll try!!

[aclockworkoi]

@LIUtenant: Try getting a head collar named Gentle Leader. Other head collrs might not work as well. My Pit Bull pulled excessively and stopped as soon as I got him using it. To get them to use it, you sohuld just put the nose part on and treat them with very special treats in the house. The next day, maybe clip it on. and treat. The next day, go for a walk with it. I used that to start to teach heel and now I can walk him on a Sensation Harness without him pulling.

[LIUtenant]

Many thanks ill give it a shot... hope its effective

[lolathechecker]

try the halti. not so much nose band pressure. i have found in my experience that those ones work the best.

[LIUtenant]

Hi there...

I have a 12mth old Malinois and when i take her out of the house she gets extremely excited and pulls. I've tried to teach her to heel but she does not listen. Any comments?

[aclockworkoi]

didnt put my comment above in the right box :)

[christ4eelam]

[nicksypixy]

very good

[trinityfootball1]

your so cool i love dog my dog gets a litttle crazy around other dogs.but hes pritty smart.cinda

[0108432216]

she is amazing omg!! all of this without money !!!

[LeeKalka]

but what if the dog keeps jumping up at you looking for that treat instead of just walking with you.

[WhyOweYou2b]

this is SUCH a waste of time. the only way to train a dog is to inspire fear in the dog - just like parents train their children. if a child doesn't fear his or her parent, he or she won't obey. this treat training bullshit is a waste of energy, money, and bad for your dog's health.

i've got a technique tha twill teach a dog to heal by his own will within seconds. i even have to persuade the dog to break command and do its own thing - the dog will follow me like his life depends on it. 100%

[WhyOweYou2b]

AND, i never have to give any command. it's the most fascinating thing. you'll swear your dog's in love with you when you see the little bugger walking beside you, looking up at you to determine where to go next, and turning precisely when you turn, staying within inches of your body.

every other training technique is crap, and you'll never be confident that your pooch will stay heeled, because they're not in tune with you.

[gretch165]

just like you've said, like childrens, they need to obey. if parents wants something like example. parents wants there child to have high grades by doin that the child needs to study and if the child ot good grades then the parents give her price. like dogs with treats. its easy, you can always punish them so they can be afraid and know whose boss, but if you do it till the rest o his life. your dog will be sad, and not free. the tendency is, most likely you will lack bonding and a gap between

[WhyOweYou2b]

okay

[Luke13PL]

how?

[sorvit9]

Great video Unlike most of the videos here ,these one has an Untrainned dog ,that makes a big diference to people that don't know how to train its dogs very usedfull thanks.
