Heeling is
at the heart of obedience, so you want to get it right from the start.
To give you
a little orientation, we have broken down walking into 8 simplified steps. As
always, the individual steps are described in our book and we can even offer
detailed videos for individual steps. We have linked these.
The times
are intended to provide some orientation and are individual for each team. As
the saying goes - many roads lead to Rome – but this is ours.
You may
notice that we keep heeling on the food hand for a long time. We do this very
consciously, because as long as the dog heels in hand, controlled by us, the
dog cannot make any mistakes. Due the exact position and positive mood is
strengthened.
