What is heel for dogs?

Heel for dogs is a training technique used to teach dogs to walk politely beside their owners without pulling on the leash. This command is especially useful for high-energy breeds or dogs that tend to be easily distracted during walks.

To teach a dog to heel, start by holding a treat in your hand and keeping it close to your leg while walking. As your dog stays next to you, reward them with the treat and praise. Gradually increase the time and distance your dog can walk beside you without getting distracted.

Consistency and patience are key when teaching your dog to heel. It may take time for your dog to understand and consistently follow the command, so be sure to practice regularly and use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior.

Heeling can be a great way to bond with your dog and make walks more enjoyable for both of you. With practice and consistency, your dog will learn to walk politely beside you on walks.
