Heel,sit and stay

The first command we are going to use is “heel”. In the heel position I want the dog by my non shooting side. If I shoot right handed, I want the dog on my left side. When walking and changing direction give the heel command. At this point the pup may lag behind you. Don’t worry, he will soon move into the correct position to avoid your boot heels. When he achieves the proper position, praise him but don’t stop to pet him. You want to keep him moving in the heel position.

Your pup will strain and pull to get his way when first leashed. Thats ok, just let him pull until he tires- then gently pull him into the correct position.

Next we will add the sit command. With the pup in the heel position come to a stop and give the command sit. Gently pull up on the leash while pushing the pups rear end down. After a few times the pup will respond without you having to push his rear down.

Stay command. This is working off the heel and sit commands. With the pup at the heel, give the sit command. As he is sittng, move out directly in front of him and command stay. If he breaks, pull up on the leash to stop him. Return him to the orginal position and try again. A six foot leash works well for this training.

Off leash or with a checkcord, move in front of the pup while he is at the sit. Hold up your hand in the stop position. If the pup breaks before release, return him to the orginal position. Give the come command for the pup to move to your side.

I think they make a differant collor for wifes. You can get them a Goodmans, hofe’s, and place like that. They cost way more money but realy work.

Don’t forget you tend to have to replace them alot more often as well. Stick with the dog it’s cheaper in the long run.
