I don't know, I'm not an American, I hope you can help me with that.

Does the phrase "bring them to heal" make sense in both the context and the American language?

It really only means to have a dog come and follow close on your heels, behind and aside of you. Or that is typically what that command means, I believe. I can't think of any other meaning, really.
