Dog Training: Correct Heel Methods – Part 4

When it comes to obedience training, there should be no “half-way action” accepted. In other words, it’s all or nothing from your dog.

Dog Behavioral Issues, Dogs, TrainingBy News RetrieverSeptember 10, 2013

This is the day of the final exam, and graduation! Cut the long line in half, and allow the dog to drag about 15 feet of line. Have a member of your family release the dog in the front yard, still dragging his line. You should position yourself in the backseat of your assistant’s car.…

Dog Behavioral Issues, Dogs, TrainingBy News RetrieverSeptember 10, 2013

On the second day of training your dog not to chase cars and other moving objects, the exact sequence should be repeated as day one – with the dog dragging the thirty-five foot line.
