How to Train Dogs Off Lead
How to Train Dogs Off Lead Train Your Dog to Heel If you want to be successful at training your dog off leash, you must first have your dog trained to heel on leash. Begin training your dog to walk right next to you while on leash in an enclosed area. This exercise is called “heeling”, and you should use the word “heel” as your command. Once your dog gets the hang of it, you can add distractions that will give you an excuse to use the heel command to redirect your dog’s wandering attention back to you. Once you’ve accomplished this, it will be up to you how much off leash work you feel safe doing. Keep in mind that you have to maintain your dog’s attention from the moment you remove his leash. colorado-dog-trainer.com
