A lure stick is a useful, inexpensive tool for teaching the HEEL command to a small dog.

Once your dog masters these first two steps, jump to Step 3 above and follow the remaining instructions for training this command. At the last step, you’ll be phasing out the lure stick instead of just readjusting your hand position, but the logistics are just the same.

Training Tips to Remember

Narrow the Options. If your dog has a hard time grasping the HEEL command, make it easier for him by giving him fewer prospects for roaming. At the Lucky Dog Ranch, I do this by setting up a temporary barrier about two feet from the wall of the training yard, creating a corridor that keeps dogs next to me—even before they understand the HEEL command. At home, you can do the same, using a row of folding chairs or card tables turned on their sides. As your dog starts to grasp the command, move that barrier back to three feet, and then four. Eventually you can remove it altogether.
