When you take your dog off the leash off the last thing you want to happen is for them to run off with you chasing wildly behind and yelling for them to come back.

Yes, if you want your dog to free heel, you should first follow our dog training tricks tips to get them to heel on the leash first.

How do you start?

Follow these Dog Training Tricks Tips steps:

1. Firstly take your dog off it’s leash

2. Walk in a straight line. (Angling into your dog will cause them to heel wide.)

3. Walk briskly! Don’t walk at the pace of your dog.

4. Don’t wave your hands about – hold your LEFT hand close to your body!

Make sure that you always give the first command in a happy and relaxed tone of voice. Your dog needs to know that you are happy and relaxed – never try to teach your dog dog training tricks tips if you are in a bad or tense mood (a bit like when you are trying to teach your wife how to drive your car ).

Change your voice to a commanding tone or call your dog’s name sharply if they don’t keep up to your walking pace or if they try to amble away.

AFTER the second command, gently pat your side and give praise. Try to give praise at every opportunity.

If your dog starts lunging ahead or tries to run off you MUST stand still! Signal back with your left hand and repeat the heel command forcefully, then pat your side encouragingly.

Remember, training your dog with new dog training tricks tips is a little like training your child to behave in a way society expects. They need to be given rules and boundaries. You need to be firm about what is right and what is not. Try to offer praise whenever you have the opportunity. That is, whenever you dog performs as expected.

When your dog is doing a great job of learning dog training tricks tips give him the praise he deserves! Encourage your dog to enjoy learning and reward them for performing well.

If your dog is large then make sure you carry the leash folded twice, with the snap end in your RIGHT hand. If your dog fails to pay attention to dog training tricks tips, call their name loudly or reach out and “spank” them playfully on the hindquarters with the end of the leash. You should then coax your dog closer to you by patting your side. (Never hit hard or in such a way that you cause you dog pain. Just the LIGHT spank is all that’s needed)

If all attempts to keep your dog at heel position fail then you will need to put the leash back on, give it ONE good jerk to bring your dog in closer, and try again. Your change in voice followed by flattery, with the occasional use of the leash, should eventually teach your dog to stay at your side at all times. Especially if you make the heeling fun and rewarding!
