Mastering dog heel training begins with the heel-sit. It’s a basic yet absolutely necessary command for your dog to learn.
This command basically maneuvers your dog into a heel at your left side and then has them calmly sit. It helps them stay out of the way when you’ve stopped on a walk at an intersection, chat with a friend, or pause so you can answer a text.
It’s also incredibly useful when you’re out and about in public. Your pup needs to know how to sit politely while you’re dining outdoors, shopping in an open-air market, or anywhere else that requires long or frequent stops.
The heel-sit is essential for your dog’s safety. It can keep them from getting hit by a car, stepped on, or otherwise injured if they’re running about. Plus, having a well-behaved dog means you don’t get in trouble with whomever or wherever you are.
