Teaching your dog to heel is not only easy and fun, but it helps encourage your dog to love walking beside you. The heel position is an essential skill for obedience competitions, heelwork to music (canine freestyle), and rally. In this video, KPA CTP Michelle Wieser and her dog Timber demonstrate how to teach the heel position using hand targeting.

Teach an Alternative Behavior to Barking
|
|
|
|
Does your dog bark wildly when the doorbell rings? Dogs bark when they hear the doorbell for several reasons: they are excited (“Yay, someone is here!), they are scared (“Oh no, someone is here!”), or they are simply doing their duty (“Someone is here—I need to let my family know!”). No matter what your dog’s motive is for barking, you can teach your dog to be quiet when the doorbell rings by asking for an alternative behavior, such as lying down on his/her bed.
