Sigh. I’ve been teaching my dog to heel.for non-competitive reasons, a.d although she heels on our walks she hates it – the only reward that seems to work is letting her go sniff something she has her eye on. She knows that she sniffs when I say so, not on her own will, but I’ve never had a dog THIS into her nose! (& I’ve worked with scent hounds before!) She also is very inattentive – I have to use to watch command to.get her to look my way. Yet when the trainer picked up her leash (after putting her on a prong collar, while I prefer a head halter) she was in perfect position giving him perfect attention! How discouraging – is there hope for the non-professionals like myself?

How do you get the attention when first starting? I can get my dog’s attention and I can get her to walk next to me as I walk backwards, but she won’t do both at once.

Thank you so much for sharing your heeling methods and thoughts! Very interesting and very clever way of going about it(!) Very inspiring!

I have a question about letting your pup running free in the woods — do you ever find that your dog gets distracted by joggers/animals/other dogs? What do you do if your dog runs up to one of these or have your already taught them from a very early age to ignore these distractions always? Do you ever find their behaviours temporarily “breaking down” when they are going through adolescence?

Will this method work for training/retraining an older dog? I went to a seminar that you put on for Justine Davenport and loved all your ideas but have had a hard time working them out on my own.
