Dog Training - Competition Heeling, Episode 3

http://www.ConnectWithYourK9.com

This Is the third part in my series on competition heeling. This section involves the steps I use to remove the board used for targeting in parts 1 and 2.
The "Finding The Leg" exercise is borrowed from Ivan Balabanov, With the major difference being that I use a food lure rather than leash pressure to teach the exercise.

You are my hero of the week.

My dog understands heel position and stays in it when I take a few steps or turn, but when I really start walking, even if it's not fast, he always lags a step or two behind me. We've been working on it consistently for months, and I can't figure out how to fix this. Any tips?

is it too much to do all three in one day? like will it be too much for the dog, my dog has a good heel but not like that, we are beginner novice in 4h and got reserve champion, but if i heel like this, i will be grand champion!

Very nice series, with good progression from stationary positions to walking method, an without a leash! I had a very hard time. I had an old Tom Rose tape, and it was good for its time, but it was nothing like this approach. Not to criticize, but I spit food from the mouth and it never worked quiet right. I also gave a hard leash correction for the dog looking away, and I taught a "watch me" command, to watch face, before motion and I introduced motion slowly, first 3 steps, then 5 steps

nice series, would you show us the finish of competition heeling without food or toy?

[Windyfur]

Great series with clear explanation of the progression from targeting the box to a moving heel. I could never figure out how on earth to teach this (having never trained it before) and after a day's attempt, my Golden mix is pivoting his heart out and will certainly improve with time. Thanks for posting!
