Lately I have been working on some āheel upgradesā with Zae.Ā Doing so by playing around with little things seeing what we can do and what works best for us.Ā The ultimate goal in mind is always to clean up and make his heel even sharper.Ā I also decided to start to actually train a fun go to heel position.. still in very beginning stages but I am pleased so far.Ā Also, very happy with how sharp Zaeās turns are getting as I was looking to get cleaner, crisper 90Ā° turns with him.
This little trick is a behavior I never ever actually trained with Zae.Ā I asked him to do it one day and from there we just started doing it. šĀ He was just able to quickly figure it out because of all the foundation skills we train.Ā I am intending to use this behavior to further clean up his heel. In the end, I want those sharp turns with a dog who stays nice and parallel to me.Ā I am also hoping it will help him pay more attention to details like my legs instead of just staring up at me with his goofy face and not paying true attentionĀ šĀ The beauty is in the details – training dogs is so fun !
I am currently accepting more online students !Ā Ā This includes one-on-one personal classrooms with custom learning modules and feedback.Ā Let me know what you want to learn or improve and let’s get to work. š
