Teach Your Dog to HEEL Competition Style

Teach your dog to heel competition style takes a little more work than just getting your dog to do a loose leash walk. In this video lesson I give you some tips to get that fancy AKC IPO Obedience style heel. There are a couple of tools that may help you achieve an even better result and I address one of them in this video.

Mine looked just like Mia yesterday morning while I was walking through the town centre eating a bacon sandwich. 💯%focus.

Thanks for this video....great technique.

[@RobertCabralDogs]

You are welcome!

Excellent integration of the crop tool to keep her from moving too far in front and to keep her focused on looking up at you. Clear communication and instruction to us all too. Thank you for this wonder instructional video!

[@oldgamerchick]

AWESOME as usual your videos are excellent without excess fake tricks. It's also relaxing to listen to your voice when most of KZbin's yammering like a bunch of crazy people. Thank you and Janet and God Bless y'all. Much love from Texas 🙃☕🙏💖😇💖🇺🇸💖

[@budimpla]

Excellent.

[@kolaszeph6112]

Thanx

[@STORMIEDOO]

Impressive!!

[@outdancer]

Awesome stuff Robert! Could you possibly do a similar video and maybe even others about how to train differently-abled dogs like blind/deaf dogs to do these heels and other commands? I’m adopting a blind husky/german Shepard and I would love a few tips and I know a lot of other people could probably use them too :)

[@mykindathang]

Great tips as always. I had a slight problem with my GSD girl getting a little too far in front of me, but her focus is great. Back outside we go.

Good video Robert. What do you think of Ivan Balabanov’s system to teach the competition style heeling?

[@LawEnforcementTodaycom]

Love seeing Maya again, what a beautiful lady!

[@user-cz3bf6cb4c]

Love Maya's chattering, is this considered a penalty in a trial if she chatters excessively ? Also thanks for the left turn,right turn tip, never really thought of it that way. Will practice more, my dog tends to get ahead of me.

[@RobertCabralDogs]

excessive yes, but mild is usually acceptable.

[@danniosgood1362]

Hello! I recently came across your channel. I'm binge watching your videos! I will be bringing home my first GSD puppy at the end of May. Question: Are you using two separate words, as in "Fuss" for focus heel and then "heel" for loose leash walking?

[@RobertCabralDogs]

Yes. I use Fuß sand let’s go.

[@sailormatros8600]

can I do this with my 11 years old GSD ?

[@alexxela8192]

Thanks, but this is more like polishing the heel than teaching the heel.

[@brum4366]

Thats why it says heel competition style not heel beginner style

[@saramations]

Maya is a good girl. Very good looking. 🐶

[@ChapaChapa13]

What do I do if my dog gets jumpy for the toy while heeling?

[@kevinclausen1834]

Hello Robert, I have a question regarding my Malinois "Obelix" when i do this type of heel training and then give him the toy and camping with him. but when i do that he tries to change his bite all the time closer to my hands so i have to move my hands so he doesn't bite me he doesn't do that onn pupose ofc but do you have any idea why he alwasy try to change his bite when im playing with him.?

Does the dog strain its neck like that?

[@Gennosuke84]

not sure if someone will read this.. but how can I teach my dog to stay no matter what.. no matter if some other dog is visible or people call him etc... my dog is 16 month old and thats the biggest issue that he goes for other dogs even tho I told him to sit

[@ricardoorozco3311]

Hey thanks for the video is okay to have my dog heal on the right side of me thanks?

[@RobertCabralDogs]

for personal reasons, yes.... but in trials it's required to have the dog on the left!

[@hectorskmetija3015]

I do two different training classes with my doby pup and he walks on my right. But I'm not allowed to take any exams, which doesn't bother me as my previous dobies had loads of medals and stuff. I only do classes for socialising the real training in done in the real world 😃

[@vissert2841]

Again great content Robert! Good job :) A small non related question. In a lot of positive only circles I read the opinion that there are no dominant dogs. Just dominant behaviour. What is your opinion on that?

[@nicksantosTV]

dogs are pack animals, from what I understand theirs always a leader and the rest follow. I could be wrong.

[@treatsandleashes1284]

That's correct. The dominance theory has been disproven for quite some time, including from the guy that it originated from. In packs, dogs can take on different roles at different times, even sometimes based on their moods.

[@vissert2841]

@@treatsandleashes1284 Interesting! But I guess you can still speak from dominant breeds? Breeds that tend to have more dominant behaviour then other breeds?

[@treatsandleashes1284]

@@vissert2841 There are more assertive breeds and personalities just as there are more timid, fearful, aggressive, or any other trait - just like there are people. It's not about "dominating" anything...

[@EdgarFroes]

I am certain that the moment I start using this tool, some neighbors will say I'm hurting the dog. I can actually go to prison if my actions get missinterpreted. I tend to correct my dogs with a choke leash and I'm always aware of my surroundings.
