Hello I've been trying to train my puppy a propper heel like the one you have here. Dog watching you the whole way. how did/do you train that? do you keep food in your mouth to spit at the dog at the end of the heel? or something else.

[starkepfoten]

I teach eye contact. Then I teach eye contact while moving. I mark with a "yes" then they can break free and get the ball or food after they looked in my eyes. Then I progress how long they have to look before a "yes".

nice job... but if u don't use leash, why keep the collar? (..and very a tight one)

[starkepfoten]

Thanks,

I do use a leash, and the pinch collar is properly fitted snug high up on the neck. It's used for polishing up behaviors, and used to help shape others.

how old the dog can be to start training?

[jmdnarri]

Very nice work!!!! Do you compete USA or WDA?

[hilarydawn16]

so, you reward for eye-contact. what is your reward? it is food?

[Workingsheepdogs]

It's not "pure" clickertraining, since he uses corrections too.

[Workingsheepdogs]

How do you correct the dog?

[Veep05]

I have the end of my tab leash in the left hand. The dog is taught eye contact, and is rewarded for maintaining eye contact, and corrected for looking away. The dog is pushing me, to give him a reward by giving me eye contact.
