Foundations To Heeling Positions

Before your dog can heel with precision, they need to understand where heel position is and how to hold it. This lesson breaks down proper body alignment, front-end and rear-end awareness, and how to cleanly guide your dog into the right position—whether starting from a sit, stand, or movement.

What You’ll Need:

  • High-value treats or food

  • Optional: platform or wall to help define straight lines

  • A quiet space for clean repetitions
