Heel

After watching the Dog Whisperer last night, we learned a new technique from Cesar Millan . Every day after watching his program we try out new techniques and tips on Buddy. He has been trying to distract us, so we can't watch the show.

This morning on our trip to and from the library, we worked on getting Buddy to heel. He is usually pretty good, but Cesar used a technique to show the dog what the desired behavior was. So this morning when Buddy was out in front of me, I would say "Heel", and step in front of him. Physically letting him know where he should be.

He was a little confused at first. We used it again this evening and it seems to be helping. Or maybe he was just tired. Not sure if the temperature, 65 degrees today, or the two and a half hour walk and playtime this morning was affecting Buddy, but he is exhausted.
