DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS:
- your dog can master heal on the leash 100%
- your dog has 100% recall
- you feel confident in your skills
Have your motivator with you - a toy or treats.
Start out by putting your dog in a heel while they are on leash. Once you have taken a few steps feel free to unleash your dog while they continue to heel.
Repeat command when you need too. Also, praise them as they heel - say "good heel" to let them know they are doing well.
If they veer off course/break the heel, then stop where you are and repeat command. Wait to start walking again until they are back by your side and in position.
