Loose Leash Walking and HeelingThis seems to be the skill most people, including some trainers have the most difficulty. Students will learn the difference between loose leash walking and heeling, and will practice each in differing circumstances and distraction levels. Dogs will learn to "stay close", to do an emergency halt, to walk mannerly in crowds, near dogs, and in a variety of circumstances. Owners will learn about ways to lead a dog, techniques to make loose leash walking fun and natural and learn when to heel and when to walk loose lead, as well as when to allow the dog to be a dog. |
