Another BIG thank-you. 2 weeks ago we score a 95 in Rally fun match. -5 for wide heeling. Fun match this weekend -0 for heeling errors!! Judge commented on his great attitude. Show next weekend.
We have been doing obedience successfully for years. But my Papillon always had a problem heeling wide. I tried tagging for just 3 days before I saw an improvement. It's like he found the sweet spot! He's happier heeling & so am I. Thanks so much.
Thank you for posting this! I'm going to try tagging my with my highly distractible boxer to help her to learn stay focused! I also like the concept of holding the dog's head in the correct position if they decide to floor sniff etc. This is where my problem is, motivational pops alone have not worked for us. Luring back with even the most tasty treats simply doesn't work (she knows heel position well).
Thanks so much for this video. I've recently read all of Linda Koutsky's columns in Front and Finish. I've started fading the cookies and playing with, engaging with, and generally working my butt off to "connect" with my dog. I started teaching the motivational collar pop about three weeks ago. I am hungry to learn more details of Linda Koutsky's training methods, but unfortunately won't be able to make it to one of her seminars this year. So I was delighted to find your video. Lisa
