Walking to heel

I am so proud of Duke i have been teaching him to walk to heel, i didn't like the way he jumped up at strangers when walking past, in the last two days he has responded very well to the command and made me very proud , he doesn't like doing it you can see he is itching to go to the stranger, but a treat after we have passed and he is one happy chappie again

Quick learner! Anything for a treat Xx

all dogs are sluts for a treat unfortunately Tommy has not reached sexual maturity yet and still pulls like a train then takes the treat after

Well done Duke - Kuchar loves strangers too ....

New Years Resolution - practise heel more!

Thanks for the kind comments , i must say it's been a while since i owned a dog as intelligent as Duke he seems to pick things up very quickly indeed .

well done takes alot of treats though

Thanks Wendy and Mark i always do they work wonders

Loki picked that up too, but I also added the 'watch' command to it to give me an extra sense of security. He sometimes likes to look at the person go past, and THEN look at me...and won't stop looking at me until I give him a treat for doing what I asked, albeit after I wanted him to do it . They are such a clever breed glad Duke's picked it up.

I thought Charlie was a sucker for a treat but taking him out on the path today he plonked himself down and wouldn't even eat one!!

I use wellbeloved crackerjack treats Griffin5 a bit more expensive but Duke can't resist them

When in doubt, use chicken

lol, I'll bet he wouldn't refuse chicken!

Also hot dog sausages or dried liver ( recipe available on request )

I bought some liver yesterday to put with the mince meat I add to Charlie's food.....is it ok for them to have a little liver every day or is that to much?

I'd be interested to hear anyone's views on this too as Kuchar LOVES cooked liver and one way or another he does get a lot.
