I just adopted a 18 month old female GSD. Your techniques are exactly what I'm looking for! I am so excited to "work" this sweet girl and watch her achieve her potential. She is a huge Love and VERY smart. She needs brain and body work. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you. Our 4 year old GSD mix rescue (and I) have struggled with a proper heel managing only a cheater's heel. One session and she's picked it up. Will be our new walking method from here on out. Zero reactivity walking past a group of 8 dogs then following closely behind the pack, and no need to yank on the slip lead. It's like an early Christmas present. And only 28k views? Guess it's our little secret.... JK sharing for sure!
That's my boy!!!⚔️🔥⚔️ Andy you're THE BEST--all the progress and training on this dog has been directly from your Patreon! We are training at a level that I never thought pissible, thanks to your World Class training, and your amazing ability to explain and teach us, the owners!! I am forever grateful for the time you put in for us all🙌🙏🙌
Fluffy's neck!! 😂😂 Love Mr Lincoln and your videos Andy.. here in England they're banning the ecollar 🙄 my girl will still wear hers and her prong when needed.. boom 💥
I think this is so cool. I have a 4 month old German Shepherd, since she was.6 weeks old. I have started the Heel exercise today. Thank you for sharing!❤
My pup is 10 months old. I started training him to sit, stay, place, and down-- we're now on heel. He keeps disengaging after the treats, so I may just have to start doing it like this with more frequent reinforcement. Solid video.
Andy your channel is simply the best! Everyone in my family has dogs and I was never drawn to the training viewing it monotonous and not fun. I wanted to help them with the dogs while visiting and loved to find your approach is grounded in having fun, building a bond, and rewarding the dog. Entirely mutually beneficial. I've been having an absolute blast with them now and cannot wait to get my own when I settle down (travel too much as a remote worker). Thanks for the wealth of info, and especially for advocating healthy principles that make training accessible and most importantly something you and the dog can look forward to / enjoy. My parents' 10 year old black lab is pooped this morning after some heel training plus an introduction to food luring him around an object setting up for a future play session of going around before getting the toy.
Man honestly you are the best trainer I ever see in my live, I am your follower and I always will be. I love your videos brother and I learned a lot from you. Thanks again for your videos.
Love it! Thank you for covering all that ground in one video. Heeling, the prong collar - those have been such valuable lessons that I got from you and used with my dogs. They went from being sometimes unmanageable to the star dogs of the neighborhood!
Thank you for your training videos man. Im starting to watch and learn now on what to do and how to go about training a dog. Im a long ways out before i get to training. But appreciate what your teaching us
😂 a small dog commit tickled me! So glad I found you and watched both video's. Yes, training takes time! Going to put this to use , this leash pulling hurts me as well as him. I want my Boo-Boo to be well mannered and more enjoyable! Thank you for show us to teach our dogs better behaviors!!!!
Thanks Andy, super motivation for the dog and me almost feel like him ready to interact with You 😅... Super introduction and approbiate use of TRAINING collar. The prong collar is for training, smothly and light'n easy directing Your dog not for punishing Your Best Friend 👍👍👍
I’m sixteen years old and last deer season I had trouble tracking one of the deer I shot now I’m training my lab/heeler mix to track whitetail and now that she stays with me it was really easy to find deer last season she ran off and instead of me tracking my buck I ended up having to track my dog then tracked my buck down 4 hours later half eaten she actually stays with me now so thank you bro
Another great video! Perfect example of engagement! Your movements really help the dog to stay focused on you. I have ppl ask me if my Corso ever pulls on leash? My answer is he never had a chance, I taught him to heel. At 120lbs at 7 months old? So VERY grateful he has a fantastic heel. Btw- when he was a smaller? aka a little dog? I survived bending over to do it 😅😂❤😊
My 5 month old Giant Schnauzer keeps pushing/leaning on my left leg while teaching him to walk beside me. When I step a few inches away while trying to hold him in that position with the leash, he will keep coming towards my side to get closer so he’s back to pushing on my leg again. Ugh……. ***Update***…..Marschall is doing much better walking by my side ! I started making a lot of right turns and reverse turns and it has made quite a difference. He seems to be paying more attention on where we’re going instead of leaning on my leg now.
Cool video Andy!! :) How long should I lure my dog and when can I fade the lure with Pup? I have 14 weeks mix Malinois GSD How about keeping head up vertically? should I focus on that when start learning or can i master that later??
Hey Andy! I’m wondering if you have any videos on training dogs not to take any food unless they hear a command to? Ziggy is doing excellent but she’s extremely food motivated. For safety reasons I would like to train her not to accept food at all unless she gets the ok. She’s good with leave it, but that’s dependent on me being perfect all the time and I don’t like those odds you know?
It this possible with adult rescue dog or adult dog someone doesn't want keep anymore and you get it? Can you create a bound with a dog that before had another human?
Hi, I just got a 2year old shepsky I was told he was trained but he didn't respond to his name in 2 days we got him to learn he's name and do some commends but will the heel process work on a 2 year old shepsky? Also it seems like he never got to learn how to play with toys how can I properly teach him to play ?
I like having a magnetized ball that I stick high on the back of my vest. That way the ball is still there but now not in sight. Reward one or two steps at a time. The dog must believe the ball is there without seeing it. Makes for a smooth transition 👍🏻
I gotcha so far on the "Heel" 2.0 but it didn't appear to be complete. I'm under the impression that at some point the owner/trainer will say "heel" and the dog will be at the hip; more importantly "heel" is a command that not only serves as a default manner to keep the dog posture correctly in respect to their master but to stave off instinctive behaviors that are unpleasant and inappropriate?
Hi Andy, my dog doesn't really know real competition heel like you showing us there. He knows perfectly loose leash walk/off leash walk with me walking by my side, but this is not perfect real heel command. My queistion is ( he has good food luring foundation ), how much days should i food-lure heel with him to gain focus for moving to the next step, heeling without food.
@@AndyKruegerAnd Andy... Did you have 2 different commands for "heeling"? One for real competition heeling, other for basic loose walking. I use " heel " for competition heeling with focus and " with me " for basic loose on and off leash walking on my side.
Andy, the dog has a collar with spikes around his neck,leash is relaxed also.. in the first video, the collar is better, soft with a relaxed leash.. why now a prong collar? Thank you
Whats the call into 'heel when the pup is facing you? Ive got heel where she will walk by my side.. when the pup is sitting facing you - do you just call heel and lure into position?
Taking your dog for a walk for 15 mins and keeping it under heel command is not a good way to walk or tire your dog. That's how you just make its neck and body tense.Taking it out in the forest for that 1 hour or more and letting it run off lead is much better. The same with a puppy. It's best to a pup's body and bones to let it run off lead in its own pace, in a forest NOT in the streets. About the prong (and e collar). It always amazes me how everyone using them says "it's the same as flat collar or harness, it's not there to punish or correct the dog"... then why won't you just use the flat collar? 😅 I've never used a prong or an e collar and I don't mean to. Why should I? I reward my dog for doing what I ask her to do. I teach new things to my dog by letting her offer actions. Like lie down, I just mark her doings when it's nearest to a down position and then I reward it. And when the dog actually gets it and lies down, I add the cue word. And I don't have to yank the lead and force her to lie down. And when teaching her new tricks etc it never takes long for her to understand what I want. About adding distractions to heelwork, you don't have to yank the lead when the dog looks at somewhere else than you. That's just not training 🤦♀️ what you should do is reward the dog when it looks at you. If it looks at something else, just wait for it to look back at you. And besides, if your dog tends to look at everywhere else than you very often, it's usually because you've moved on too soon in the training. You should just go in the training field and not do heelwork etc but just reward your dog for looking at you. Just this. It's called distraction training. And of course you can do this anywhere. I do this in the field, the streets, shopping mall etc. Just rewarding the pup/dog for giving me eye contact and not caring about the distractions. No need for prongs, e collars or yanking the lead. And yes, you can do this with a malinois or a german shepherd too.
The reason I am beginning to hate the dog training videos is that you dog vloggers use already command mastered dogs. Why not get an untrained dog and making the video of it's training.

If your dog can’t do that don’t move on, is the best advice, so many people try to push their dogs too far too fast
We do know how you roll it’s why we always watching
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I came to this video from part 1! I’ve been watching many training videos. Your heel training is the BEST!! Thank you for educating us!
“Tell ‘em, Lincoln. Tell ‘em. Ok, we’re still working on that.”
😂😂😂 I love your humour Andy 😊
😃
Cracking up at "the spikes dig into fluffy." Spot on. Love your work!
Excellent 👌
The small dog part really made me laugh 🤣
Haha! It’s true!
No fluffies were harmed in the making of this video guy's 🤣.Let's goooo Andy !!!

great training and beautiful GSD.
Great videos! Thank you!!! Working with my 15 week old Doberman on this.
“Hope I didn’t offend anyone” I can relate to you 😆
My brother has a German shepherd and I want to start training him he's barely a yr old. Thanks for this video. It'll be my first project
Amazing progress with this beautiful boy!!! So great to see how the progression happens.
Thanks!
Fluffy's neck!! 😂😂 Love Mr Lincoln and your videos Andy.. here in England they're banning the ecollar 🙄 my girl will still wear hers and her prong when needed.. boom 💥
Hell yes! 💥
Your training is awesome but your property is spectacular!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Yay Lincoln! Best boy.
Agreed!
That last part is so true. I go on 1.5 mile walks with my dog for me, not because it does anything for his energy level
Great tutorials....I'm picking up loads of tips.
This is a fantastic couple of videos. I would have liked to hear the verbal commands when watching the video, though.
Pahahahahaha "for some reason your knees don't bend" ... I cackled at that. Andy can we clone you and send you to the UK 😂😂
Yes I’ll allow it 😂
Only 3:08 in and i am already getting ready to got train after i am done watching this awesome video. Thanks for the inspiration as always.
🙌🏻
I don’t even have my pup yet and want to train. Does this work on cats 🤣
Go Lincoln!!! What a good boy
Yes he is! 🙌🏻
I think this is so cool. I have a 4 month old German Shepherd, since she was.6 weeks old. I have started the Heel exercise today. Thank you for sharing!❤
Love ur connection w Lincoln & your humor too. 😁

My pup is 10 months old. I started training him to sit, stay, place, and down-- we're now on heel. He keeps disengaging after the treats, so I may just have to start doing it like this with more frequent reinforcement. Solid video.
impressive

I would love if you could show how to integrate the e collar into heel work
I have several videos on this exactly on my patreon 🙏🏼

Your a smart dude thank you now I know y my dog turns her nose at me for treats... the spoiling is definitely going to stop cuz I want a good dog
Очень круто 👍
Cool video Andy!! :)
How long should I lure my dog and when can I fade the lure with Pup? I have 14 weeks mix Malinois GSD
How about keeping head up vertically? should I focus on that when start learning or can i master that later??
👍🐾nice🐾👍
Hey, Andy where can I buy the treat apron you use ?
Can i still train my 2 your old mallinois x dutch sheperd heel? Tips for this living rocket with legs.
So I’m not sure if you covered this in another video but what’s the purpose of the spins when teaching heel? Thanks
@ANDY , WHAT STATE ARE YOU LOCATED IN
❤

whats the food that you are using?
What kind of food are you giving to them as a reward or
Explain why 'heel' was a command used by real dog handlers before shotguns had any safety on them... it will all make sense if you hear the story...
It this possible with adult rescue dog or adult dog someone doesn't want keep anymore and you get it? Can you create a bound with a dog that before had another human?
What's the prong's purpose in this case?
What kind of treat you giving to him?
HCe falta que traduzca a español por favor
Curious, what are you using for treats? Is it a high value treat or just kibble?
If there’s nothing magic about the prong collar, why can’t I use this method without it & on a flat collar?
You can!
How to train this with a dog who is not very food motivated? Once we get out of the house, my dog won't take food or treats from me.
Love it #patreoncrew

Hey Andy ,
it's a dog for you or for some french people ? :)
Hey Andy, my dog can do the focused heel while the ball is on my shoulder. When do i move rhe ball away from my shoulder. Thanks un advance

How long should you train with your dog per day?
How much time per day would you spend on this? As long as the cup of kibble lasts?
A good 20 mins at least 👍🏻
sir can 1 still train hell command a 1yr old belgian?
Of course
@@AndyKrueger thank you sir andy!..God bless u always😃
@@gwapotambok4411Why you think you can't? My rottie almost 2.5 years old and still learning new tricks!
Andy, the dog has a collar with spikes around his neck,leash is relaxed also.. in the first video, the collar is better, soft with a relaxed leash.. why now a prong collar? Thank you
Research the four quadrants of operant conditioning 👍🏻
Spikes….really? Don’t be so dramatic!
So, the collar is a positive punishment? I'm trying to expand my training knowledge
Whats the call into 'heel when the pup is facing you? Ive got heel where she will walk by my side.. when the pup is sitting facing you - do you just call heel and lure into position?
ahh, yes you are calling heel when facing you and luring into position. I missed the later bit about French. :-)
What do you do if your dog isn’t food motivated?
Stop over feeding and put on a diet 👍🏻
My question is how many treats is to many while training so dog don’t lose appetite. A bag maybe half a bag?
Use the dog’s food instead of treats.
About a half cup of kibble 👍🏻
What is heel?
I’ve actually got a solution for the small dog, you rent a small person that walks next to small dog and rewards it for you.
Hahaha! Great idea!! 😆
You didn’t let him jump in the pond!
Please 🙏 don't use background music 🎵
I agree music goes over the top at times
I think my dog got ADD.. once the treats are presents I lose him

Look at lincoln stare down the camera, aaaaah its unnerving
It is soo cold that stare.
What if my dog is not food driven lol idk if he doesn’t like these treats but he thinks the environment is way more interesting than treats 😢
Do you leave food aveliable all day?
