Hi Emily! Your training methods and endless patience really are something to be admired. I have a 4 month Labradoodle who is as bright as a button, I can only hope I wont let him down when it comes to his education. You are a constant source of inspiration to me and so many others. Well done. Yvonne

I love this! It's a much gentler way of teaching the left pivot. I've always used the leash around my legs, pulling the dogs head against my legs and forcing them to move their rear. But I will definitely try this method now. Thank you so much!

My dog already knows how to heel but she isn't good at paying attention when I'm about to turn. Will this help her improve in her movement?

Hey Emily,
Great video! I have been brainstorming creative ways to get my Hungarian Mudi pup to give me a great competition heel, and this looks like an awesome idea! Great twist on the concept, and according to Splash, this does translate to left and right side heeling . I am writing a blog about Griff and my journey with him. I have sent my readers to a number of your videos, and they LOVE them! If you interested, check us out at dognerd101.blogspot.com. Thanks for all of these great videos!

@kikopup I can attest that this technique works great on Corgi's. I used this on my new dog, and quickly learned forward, backward, sides, and even pivots, both sides, both directions. I struggled teaching my first dog (corgi) to heel, but using this technique, was a snap. Especially backing up. Thanks so much for posting. This was a terrific idea.

I can't believe that I missed this video clip. It is amazing and makes so much sense, Emily. Thanks so much!

Oh my gosh, Emily, this is huge! I've been feeling like I need to start over with my dog's heel command and now I have a great new tool to use. Thanks!

I've been working on this with Indi and he just now is starting to get it. Do you say heel or turn or anything when you teach the turning? I can't really hear it in the video.

Im using a hand cue in this video, where my hand is on the outside of the dogs head and a slight wrist turn (remenisant of the food lure). I haven't really added a verbal cue for 'heel' yet, Its just finger targeting at the moment, as well as using the cue 'touch' to begin. On left turns you can also use a left finish cue if your dog knows that. Thats how I taught my chi to do left turns with the cue -'swing'. Check your mail..

Great video! I'm trying to teach my own dog to back up 3 steps (for rally obedience). She's already great with rear end awareness but I've been doing between-leg work in hopes of teaching her "back up", but I'm not quite sure how to teach it in the first place. Any advice? My verbal cue is "beep beep beep" (like a truck backing up) and she already knows to back up when I approach her from the front (but not between my legs).

Not sure this technique will work so great for a short dog but basically to get a dog to back up between your legs- 1 free shape it or2 lure it 3 both. I lured it, but quickly turned it into targeting. Basically with the dog in-between put the treat below their nose first and back up an inch, then increase the distance. You can try holding it over their head first, but they tend to sit instead of back up. You can teach back up in heel other ways too! Whatever works and is fun for the dog.

This is great, I think I'm gonna try it! What exactly is your theory behind this technique though. Just curious! Yay for clicker training!

Basically that when you turn a certain direction, say for instance left, the dog has to swing their rear to the right to maintain being between your legs. If they were at your left side, you would turn left and their face would still be at your left but their rear would be angled away from you like a car pulling a trailer making a turn. There is no real need to do this, it just looks cool for freestyle . This I imagine only works with larger dogs. :)
