subject: Puppy Obedience Training helps you train your puppy on your own [print this page] Rather than walking ahead or behind you, your puppy learns to walk by your side when it learns the obedience exercise of heeling.
It is very important to teach the dog to focus upon you rather than getting distracted by every second thing that comes his way, so it knows where you are going.
Heeling is a part of dog obedience training and teaching other commands such as sit, go, stay and others are less complicated.
It's not that difficult a task to house train puppies, especially if you know how to go about it.
You can teach the puppy to heel during the obedience training, and whether you take it for an evening walk or take it out for potty, be sure that it keep with your pace.
Heeling often begins with puppy leash training; you can walk your puppy with you with a snug collar around its neck.
If he is left behind or trotting ahead, put a little train on the collar to control his pace.
Your puppy will started listening to you even without the leash once he has learned the basic lesson of his obedience training.
It is also advisable to keep some nice smelling sausages in your pocket to make use of the reward technique
Without being distracted by the butterflies and cars on the road the smell will help your puppy to walk close to you.
You can also walk a little fast for drawing attention of your puppy and reward him when he starts gaining pace to walk with you, with sausages and his favorite food items.
Clap your hands and appreciate his efforts once he has learnt the art of walking with you, replacing the food with words of praises such as 'good boy'.
Puppies want to please you and would follow your command most of the time just because they want to keep you happy, so house training puppies does not take very long, but do not get impatient and punish your little pet if he gets distracted by cats or other dogs initially.
