Practice The Heel Command

Does your dog pull the leash while going out on walks? This is the perfect time to start working on that heel command. You might be going out on more walks than normal during this time which means more time to train your dog. Your dog can learn more quickly during this time because you go on walks frequently and training is fresh in their minds.

To master this command, let your dog walk a little ahead of you and once it has reached the end of the leash turn around and start walking in a different direction. Pull the leash firmly to get your dog’s attention and say the words “heel”. Your dog will follow you in the new direction and will eventually learn to walk beside you rather than walking in front of you.
