You don't need much to train your dog, right? You probably have a dog, a leash, food and a toy but most folks don't have special equipment at home. So I wanted to show you something Simple, Cheap and Effective to help you train your dog to Heel: Plungers!
Yup, the Plumber's Helper sure comes in handy! Nope! This is not about toilet problems but it is about how a simple, low cost, tool can add a lot of fun to your training.
By lining up a few plungers you can stay on course to teach your dog how to Heel. This also won't take up too much space. You can do it indoors; Hallways seem like a great idea. And inclement weather will not be your excuse to keep you from practicing!!
Start with your dog on a leash and practice walking through the plungers. It's fun and will help your dog stay close to you. You can motivate your dog also with a bit of food trapped under your thumb. As your dog improves, you can then move through the plungers without a leash attached.
Not everybody wants or needs their dog to know Heel; Just No Pulling is a good goal! Walking in Heel is about precision. So if you are interested in learning here is a good way to get started.
