- Walk the talk ?Teaching a pup or for that matter, a full grown dog the 慼eel?command is not going to be easy.

- Do the rumba: Extend the steps, take your dog for extended walks inside your home in the 慼eel?position. Once you are sure that your dog is able to follow the command perfectly, take him for 慼eel?walks and runs outside in the garden. Just remember, that a garden will contain more distractions than your drawing room, so chances are that he will get distracted the first few times. But once he realizes that you are withholding the doggy treats when he does not perform correctly, he will 慼eel?perfectly. So do the rumba with your dog, take him for runs and in time, you should even be able to run out full blast with your dog by your side, all the way to 慼eel?and back!
The 慼eel?command will bring you and your dog a lot closer and in time, you would be able to develop a very healthy relationship with your dog. The neat thing is that this particular command will allow you both to get a healthy dose of 憄hysical exercise?
