HOW TO TRAIN THE HEEL COMMAND 2.0!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Training your dog how to properly HEEL is a skillset that requires months of conditioning and a lifetime of upkeep! Teaching Heel is different than "stopping your dog from pulling" !! If you remove your prong collar/ ecollar and your dog doesn't walk the same, your dog doesn't know Heel!!
This is how you truly bond with your dog; take the time to teach them a real skillset that will enhance both of your lives!
Lincoln the German Shepherd and his owner practice this daily! Not only do they both enjoy the interaction, it automatically stops any problem behaviors, like reactivity, because the handler is telling the dog what to do instead of what NOT to do!

Happy training!
I have been using thisas a handy reference book ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGQVgV21bQ7B9b9duQ1ByImyT9xHbjOKq . I read through the book and enjoyed the little glimpses of examples. I love that this author believes in rescue dogs. The tips and training has been invaluable and gave me moments of.... "how simple why didn't i think of it" so it's been a great tool. Thank you!
This is pure raw training at its finest. No BS, Drill sergeant like advisories and a beautiful dog.
I love it
Love, love, love this! Thank you so much for keeping it real so that I myself and others can understand that training a dog is not impossible! 😅
I just adopted a 18 month old female GSD. Your techniques are exactly what I'm looking for! I am so excited to "work" this sweet girl and watch her achieve her potential. She is a huge Love and VERY smart. She needs brain and body work. Thank you for what you do!
Andy is the best! Real people communication. Direct and down to earth. Keep it up Andy🎉
Awesome skulls brother. We just got a 13 year old Bischon frieze rescue dog and I'm training him following your advice. I'm starting with the lure. He's small and im 6ft2, but I'm giving it everything he deserves so that he has quaility if life😊
Love the part of not exercising the dog to death but working the energy out of the dog!
My pup is 10 months old. I started training him to sit, stay, place, and down-- we're now on heel. He keeps disengaging after the treats, so I may just have to start doing it like this with more frequent reinforcement. Solid video.
That's my boy!!!⚔️🔥⚔️ Andy you're THE BEST--all the progress and training on this dog has been directly from your Patreon! We are training at a level that I never thought pissible, thanks to your World Class training, and your amazing ability to explain and teach us, the owners!! I am forever grateful for the time you put in for us all🙌🙏🙌
💪🏼⚔️🙏🏼
That’s your pup in the video?
@joshuajenkins5046 Yes he is :)
great training and beautiful GSD.
We do know how you roll it’s why we always watching
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your training is awesome but your property is spectacular!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
This is fabulous, just started to work with my 6 month old GSD. Is the beginning so good right in face. So enjoyable and this next level looks brilliant. Wonderful for bonding. Thank you
Go Lincoln!!! What a good boy
Yes he is! 🙌🏻
Cracking up at "the spikes dig into fluffy." Spot on. Love your work!
If your dog can’t do that don’t move on, is the best advice, so many people try to push their dogs too far too fast
“Tell ‘em, Lincoln. Tell ‘em. Ok, we’re still working on that.”
😂😂😂 I love your humour Andy 😊
😃
Thank you. Our 4 year old GSD mix rescue (and I) have struggled with a proper heel managing only a cheater's heel. One session and she's picked it up. Will be our new walking method from here on out. Zero reactivity walking past a group of 8 dogs then following closely behind the pack, and no need to yank on the slip lead. It's like an early Christmas present. And only 28k views? Guess it's our little secret.... JK sharing for sure!
🙏🏼
Amazing progress with this beautiful boy!!! So great to see how the progression happens.
Thanks!
Andy your channel is simply the best! Everyone in my family has dogs and I was never drawn to the training viewing it monotonous and not fun. I wanted to help them with the dogs while visiting and loved to find your approach is grounded in having fun, building a bond, and rewarding the dog. Entirely mutually beneficial. I've been having an absolute blast with them now and cannot wait to get my own when I settle down (travel too much as a remote worker). Thanks for the wealth of info, and especially for advocating healthy principles that make training accessible and most importantly something you and the dog can look forward to / enjoy. My parents' 10 year old black lab is pooped this morning after some heel training plus an introduction to food luring him around an object setting up for a future play session of going around before getting the toy.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Fluffy's neck!! 😂😂 Love Mr Lincoln and your videos Andy.. here in England they're banning the ecollar 🙄 my girl will still wear hers and her prong when needed.. boom 💥
Hell yes! 💥
I came to this video from part 1! I’ve been watching many training videos. Your heel training is the BEST!! Thank you for educating us!
Excellent 👌
The small dog part really made me laugh 🤣
Haha! It’s true!
No fluffies were harmed in the making of this video guy's 🤣.Let's goooo Andy !!!
💪🏼💪🏼
Yay Lincoln! Best boy.
Agreed!
Love it! Thank you for covering all that ground in one video. Heeling, the prong collar - those have been such valuable lessons that I got from you and used with my dogs. They went from being sometimes unmanageable to the star dogs of the neighborhood!
Awesome 🙏🏼
Love ur connection w Lincoln & your humor too. 😁
🙏🏼
Lincoln!!! Wow he looks amazing. This is so good. Going to send to all my friends!
Thanks!!
We're getting a GSD puppy next month! Can't wait to start training!
🙌🏻
I think this is so cool. I have a 4 month old German Shepherd, since she was.6 weeks old. I have started the Heel exercise today. Thank you for sharing!❤
My brother has a German shepherd and I want to start training him he's barely a yr old. Thanks for this video. It'll be my first project
Great videos! Thank you!!! Working with my 15 week old Doberman on this.
“Hope I didn’t offend anyone” I can relate to you 😆
Man honestly you are the best trainer I ever see in my live, I am your follower and I always will be. I love your videos brother and I learned a lot from you. Thanks again for your videos.
Thank you!
This is a fantastic couple of videos. I would have liked to hear the verbal commands when watching the video, though.
impressive
Thank you for your training videos man. Im starting to watch and learn now on what to do and how to go about training a dog. Im a long ways out before i get to training. But appreciate what your teaching us
That last part is so true. I go on 1.5 mile walks with my dog for me, not because it does anything for his energy level
I literally just got a Great Dane Connie Corso mix and this is great informational stuff right here this will go a long way
Great tutorials....I'm picking up loads of tips.
Love the use if the poles and spins too! Making it fun! 💕🐾
So good ! Thank you !
Thanks Andy, super motivation for the dog and me almost feel like him ready to interact with You 😅... Super introduction and approbiate use of TRAINING collar. The prong collar is for training, smothly and light'n easy directing Your dog not for punishing Your Best Friend 👍👍👍
Pahahahahaha "for some reason your knees don't bend" ... I cackled at that. Andy can we clone you and send you to the UK 😂😂
Yes I’ll allow it 😂
😂 a small dog commit tickled me! So glad I found you and watched both video's. Yes, training takes time! Going to put this to use , this leash pulling hurts me as well as him. I want my Boo-Boo to be well mannered and more enjoyable! Thank you for show us to teach our dogs better behaviors!!!!
Thanks for your Videos! So good
Great video, thanks 👍
I would love if you could show how to integrate the e collar into heel work
I have several videos on this exactly on my patreon 🙏🏼

Top notch training and the dog looks really good. Haha he seems to like the camera man too
I’m sixteen years old and last deer season I had trouble tracking one of the deer I shot now I’m training my lab/heeler mix to track whitetail and now that she stays with me it was really easy to find deer last season she ran off and instead of me tracking my buck I ended up having to track my dog then tracked my buck down 4 hours later half eaten she actually stays with me now so thank you bro
My 5 month old Giant Schnauzer keeps pushing/leaning on my left leg while teaching him to walk beside me. When I step a few inches away while trying to hold him in that position with the leash, he will keep coming towards my side to get closer so he’s back to pushing on my leg again. Ugh…….
***Update***…..Marschall is doing much better walking by my side ! I started making a lot of right turns and reverse turns and it has made quite a difference. He seems to be paying more attention on where we’re going instead of leaning on my leg now.
That’s certainly not ideal! 😬
Another great video! Perfect example of engagement! Your movements really help the dog to stay focused on you. I have ppl ask me if my Corso ever pulls on leash? My answer is he never had a chance, I taught him to heel. At 120lbs at 7 months old? So VERY grateful he has a fantastic heel. Btw- when he was a smaller? aka a little dog? I survived bending over to do it 😅😂❤😊
Always in the most beautiful park lol
I liked the first video better. You can still fade the lure without a prong collar.
Your a smart dude thank you now I know y my dog turns her nose at me for treats... the spoiling is definitely going to stop cuz I want a good dog
Bro , greats videos !
I really love those training pockets, they seem to be key to the heel command as you can get treats quickly and repeatedly in large quantities. Where can I buy some? Thanks
Great Job
Замечательный пёс!!!🇷🇺
Great video!
Food in hand is a bit back breaking if you have a tiny dog,so I just say "by me" and she now knows to walk beside me and I'll give her an occasional treat and she stays beside me until I say "go now".
I’ve always looked up training videos specific to my dog breed. Don’t get me wrong this is a good channel but I’ve just always liked finding the specific dog in the video because u can see a lot of little details that are useful for your exact dog.
Crackin trainer by the looks of it!!%%%
If there’s nothing magic about the prong collar, why can’t I use this method without it & on a flat collar?
You can!
I gotcha so far on the "Heel" 2.0 but it didn't appear to be complete. I'm under the impression that at some point the owner/trainer will say "heel" and the dog will be at the hip; more importantly "heel" is a command that not only serves as a default manner to keep the dog posture correctly in respect to their master but to stave off instinctive behaviors that are unpleasant and inappropriate?
Curious, what are you using for treats? Is it a high value treat or just kibble?
Очень круто 👍
Hi Andy, my dog doesn't really know real competition heel like you showing us there. He knows perfectly loose leash walk/off leash walk with me walking by my side, but this is not perfect real heel command.
My queistion is ( he has good food luring foundation ), how much days should i food-lure heel with him to gain focus for moving to the next step, heeling without food.
Likely 2-4 weeks if done correctly 🙏🏼
@@AndyKrueger I'm working on that 💪💪
@@AndyKruegerAnd Andy... Did you have 2 different commands for "heeling"? One for real competition heeling, other for basic loose walking. I use " heel " for competition heeling with focus and " with me " for basic loose on and off leash walking on my side.
@@macedoniangangster8085 You can for sure. Personally I just have one as my competition is relaxed 🙏🏼
How much time per day would you spend on this? As long as the cup of kibble lasts?
A good 20 mins at least 👍🏻
Cool video Andy!! :)
How long should I lure my dog and when can I fade the lure with Pup? I have 14 weeks mix Malinois GSD
How about keeping head up vertically? should I focus on that when start learning or can i master that later??
Explain why 'heel' was a command used by real dog handlers before shotguns had any safety on them... it will all make sense if you hear the story...
Chat GPT cause I’m lazy rn: Before shotguns were equipped with safeties, handling a hunting dog required precise control to prevent accidental discharges and ensure safety during hunting expeditions. The command "heel" was used to keep the dog close to the handler, typically at their side or slightly behind, ensuring the dog remained under control and did not move unpredictably.
Here are the main reasons why the "heel" command was important for real dog handlers before shotguns had safeties:
1. **Safety Concerns**: Without safeties on shotguns, there was a higher risk of accidental discharge. Keeping the dog close and under control minimized the risk of the dog startling the handler or causing the handler to trip, which could lead to an unintended shot.
2. **Precision in Hunting**: The "heel" command helped maintain discipline and coordination between the dog and the handler. This was crucial for successful hunting, as it allowed the handler to position the dog optimally for flushing game and retrieving it without causing disturbances or chaos.
3. **Preventing Distraction**: A dog that remained close to the handler was less likely to chase game prematurely or wander off, which could disrupt the hunt. By keeping the dog at heel, the handler could ensure that the dog only acted when commanded, maintaining the element of surprise and control over the hunting process.
4. **Training and Obedience**: The "heel" command was part of the fundamental obedience training for hunting dogs. It instilled discipline and responsiveness in the dog, making it easier for the handler to give other commands and ensuring that the dog followed instructions accurately during the hunt.
Overall, the "heel" command was a vital part of managing hunting dogs before the advent of modern shotgun safeties, helping to ensure both safety and efficiency during hunting trips.
Hey Andy, my dog can do the focused heel while the ball is on my shoulder. When do i move rhe ball away from my shoulder. Thanks un advance
I like having a magnetized ball that I stick high on the back of my vest. That way the ball is still there but now not in sight. Reward one or two steps at a time. The dog must believe the ball is there without seeing it. Makes for a smooth transition 👍🏻
Ok thanks. Yes sir you definitely answer my question. About order the magnet now.
HCe falta que traduzca a español por favor
Hi andy how long did it take you to get him to this point in this video
As im doing this with my gsd twice a day and im where you were in the first video
Thanks love your videos
Hey Andy ,
it's a dog for you or for some french people ? :)
❤
So I’m not sure if you covered this in another video but what’s the purpose of the spins when teaching heel? Thanks
sir can 1 still train hell command a 1yr old belgian?
Of course
@@AndyKrueger thank you sir andy!..God bless u always😃
@@gwapotambok4411Why you think you can't? My rottie almost 2.5 years old and still learning new tricks!
What kind of food are you giving to them as a reward or
How to train this with a dog who is not very food motivated? Once we get out of the house, my dog won't take food or treats from me.
It this possible with adult rescue dog or adult dog someone doesn't want keep anymore and you get it? Can you create a bound with a dog that before had another human?
Love it #patreoncrew
💪🏼💪🏼
Andy, the dog has a collar with spikes around his neck,leash is relaxed also.. in the first video, the collar is better, soft with a relaxed leash.. why now a prong collar? Thank you
Research the four quadrants of operant conditioning 👍🏻
Spikes….really? Don’t be so dramatic!
So, the collar is a positive punishment? I'm trying to expand my training knowledge
My question is how many treats is to many while training so dog don’t lose appetite. A bag maybe half a bag?
Use the dog’s food instead of treats.
About a half cup of kibble 👍🏻
👍🐾nice🐾👍
Hey, Andy where can I buy the treat apron you use ?
Hey Andy! I’m wondering if you have any videos on training dogs not to take any food unless they hear a command to? Ziggy is doing excellent but she’s extremely food motivated. For safety reasons I would like to train her not to accept food at all unless she gets the ok. She’s good with leave it, but that’s dependent on me being perfect all the time and I don’t like those odds you know?
whats the food that you are using?
What's the prong's purpose in this case?
when he's sitting in front of you & then coming back to your side -- what are you saying to have him do that ? Are you saying heel ? When is it appropriate to start using the command?
You didn’t let him jump in the pond!
Can i still train my 2 your old mallinois x dutch sheperd heel? Tips for this living rocket with legs.
@ANDY , WHAT STATE ARE YOU LOCATED IN
Can you teach this to a 3year old? Rest of traing great but can't get rthis down
I have a question about engagement. Is it something that will naturally come with the dog wanting to work for you and the food, and with months of training these skillsets? Or is it something that I need to work on specifically? I know that half the time she's simply not hungry enough, so the day before I plan to do training work I deliberately withhold her dinner /breakfast, but sometimes she still doesn't look at me (aka she follows based on the leash movement she can feel). I'm apprehensive about teaching a command like "watch me" like some trainers recommend because I don't want to have to tell her every time I need her attention.
Hi, I just got a 2year old shepsky I was told he was trained but he didn't respond to his name in 2 days we got him to learn he's name and do some commends but will the heel process work on a 2 year old shepsky? Also it seems like he never got to learn how to play with toys how can I properly teach him to play ?
Whats the call into 'heel when the pup is facing you? Ive got heel where she will walk by my side.. when the pup is sitting facing you - do you just call heel and lure into position?
ahh, yes you are calling heel when facing you and luring into position. I missed the later bit about French. :-)
How long should you train with your dog per day?
What do you do if your dog isn’t food motivated?
Stop over feeding and put on a diet 👍🏻
Please 🙏 don't use background music 🎵
I agree music goes over the top at times
I’ve actually got a solution for the small dog, you rent a small person that walks next to small dog and rewards it for you.
Hahaha! Great idea!! 😆
Prong collar causes my dog to constantly scratch his neck which is annoying
