Dog Training Heel Leash Walking. Teaching a dog to heel involves training it to stay close by your side while walking and it is a great way to instill self control in your dog whether it s on or off leash. During heel walking the leash is never tight or the dog doesn t wear a leash at all. It is most useful when cruising crowded sidewalks or when other dogs and animals are around.

Start out by letting him get used to wearing a collar or harness and a leash. Adding distractions is the final phase of any behavioral training. Walk in front of your dog. Off leash heel walking can be very useful in situations where you need your hands free or when you have more than one dog at heel.
