The Halti dog training lead is made from soft padded material, which makes it very comfortable to hold. To train the dog give it your heel command and once it’s in the place you want (for us just behind and outside the right knee) give a treat/praise/both.

If you have the time for slower results you can keep going with just the changes of direction depending how well ingrained the pulling has become.The cookie is used to calculate visitor, session, campaign data and keep track of site usage for the site's analytics report.

We are also home to the Snuggle Puppy in the UK; the puppy comforter with real feel heartbeat and body warmth. When your dog is walking off the lead, you can simply remove the harness or tie the excess length up in a secure loop.

I have more difficulty giving physical praise to spaniel sized dogs simply due to their size not allowing me to hand touch them as we walk very easily and tend to use only vocal praise with the smaller dogs. The problem with teaching a heel position, on-lead or off-lead, is that everyone accepts that you train most other things incrementally, but when it comes to heeling, jump straight from A to Z by expecting their dog, that has only just had its first lesson, to then 'heel away' perfectly for a walk to the exercise or training ground.The biggest problem I see when beginner handlers are training heelwork is their failure to give sincere sounding and, to begin with, prolific praise.
