Did you ever wonder how some Golden Retriever dogs seem to know when to start walking with their owners and when to stay in place, without any noticeable input from their owners?  This is especially true for people who compete in upper levels of AKC obedience competitions.

Here’s how you can teach any dog to walk with you, or stay in place, without using a verbal command. The dog must know heel, stay, and how to sit or stand next to you in heel position (dog’s shoulder is adjacent to your leg) before you can refine the signals for these commands.

Tip of the Week!

Always take your first step with the foot nearest to your Golden Retriever when you want your dog to walk with you. Take your first step with your foot farthest from your competition dog when you want the dog to stay while you walk away. At first, tell your dog to heel or stay, accordingly. After several practice sessions, your dog will watch your feet and know if you want her to heel or stay! This works for all breeds!
