I'm am trying to get our dog, Mickey to heel. I put a treat pouch with his meal in it on my left hip. I say "heel" and hold a piece of food right where I want his head to be and give it to him. Didn't take him long to figure out where he needs to be to get fed. I mix it up between frequent treats and little longer time to the next treat. He is very good add staying at my side while I make turns. The goal is to him to heel without treats.
