subject: Puppy Obedience Training Is A Must While Heeling [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.
Other commands such as sit, go, stay and others are less complicated than teaching heeling, which is a part of dog obedience training.
House training puppies is not that difficult a task, if you know how to go about it, especially.
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.
Walk your puppy with you with a snug collar around its neck, as heeling often begins with puppy leash training.
Put a little strain on the collar to control his pace when it seems like he is trotting ahead or being left behind.
Your puppy will start listening to you once he has learned the basic lesson of his obedience training, even without the leash.
Keep some nice smelling sausages in your pockets, as it is also advisable 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.
For drawing attention of your puppy you can also walk a little faster, and when he starts gaining pace to walk with you reward him 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.
