Train a dog to Heel beside you.

HEEL
This command might be a challenge for most of the pet parents, however it can be trained easily to the dog if executed properly. Basic requirement in order to teach a Heel command to a dog is some yummy treats that your dog loves. Once you have the treat, make the dog sit beside you on your left side. Show him the treat in your hand and let him focus on you through that treat. Move ahead saying heel with your left foot and the dog himself will start walking looking at the treat in your hand. Stop after two or three steps and make the dog sit. Praise the dog with the treat. Repeat the same procedure again make sure this time you walk four to five steps with the dog focusing on the treat. Moving your left foot first as it will act as a sign for the dog that he has to move when you move your feet. Initially start this by keeping the dog on leash. Once the dog masters the command with the leash, later can continue without the leash as well. If the dog is distracted kindly stop the training session and train him some other time. This command will avoid the dog from dragging you on walks.

Do comment down below if any doubt or questions regarding the command HEEL. Thank you.
