Heeling is an obedience exercise where a puppy learns to walk by its owner's side rather than ahead or behind. It involves leash training so the owner can control the puppy's pace and redirect it if distracted. Owners should use treats and praise as rewards when the puppy walks close to their side and matches their pace. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, puppies can learn to heel during walks and remain focused on the owner rather than other distractions.
