Thanks so much for this feedback! Love to hear how you progress with Piper!

Thanks for a thorough and helpful clip. Keeping handler enuthiastic and chipper voice makes a big difference with Epsilon. Using the box for better, bum in, heel position and following focus looks so smooth with you two. It is a slow process. Short and consistent. We are still working on making this cue more effective. I made many mistakes which we are still working on improving in cueing and maintaining long, distracting environment, close and focused heels that ADs often have to manage. Rushing towards the goal of getting out meant I put a young dog into the position of handler using lead as a steering wheel instead of a safety belt. My observant puppy learnt to lean into the lead. I found your training handler cueing techniques for heel practical and useful. Thanks. 😎🐾

Thank you very much! It's working on my gsd😊.

More videos dude.

Do you have a video on teaching the orbit?

👏👏👏👏👍

My dog is not very food motivated or toy motivatied but she is high energy dog. Got any tips?

Hello, is there an ideal age to start this training?

I am getting my next service dog prospect soon. I want to do obedience and rally with her, as a fun bonding experience for both of us. I don't want her to do the competition style heel while we are working, only when we are competing or training. How do I get her to know the difference? Should I use separate words for them?

This was amazing, My dog is smaller. What would you use for treats?

I use spd roll by prime 100 but any soft high value healthy treats are fine!

what treats did you use?

Should you teach a new marker if you already use YES for everything else you’ve been tracking where an “explosive reaction” might not be appropriate?

What if my dog has way more drive with the toy?

Do you have any tips for correcting a skippy step in heel? Like bouncing on one leg and not really doing the prance consistently… for reference my dog is a short Australian shepherd- comes to just above my knee so that makes this a bit more tricky :)

Hey! Yeah so it’s all about capturing rhythm! So keep luring and wait until there’s a moment where the dog falls into a good rhythm with no skipping and mark/reward straight away. You can also play around different head positions. Sometimes a too high head position can cause skipping so lowering ever so slightly can improve rhythm! Hope that helps!

Does the dog have to heel on your left?

Would recommend practicing everyday? Once or multiple times a day? And how long should be a session? thank you 😊

I wouldn’t practise this every day. Have a day break in between. Heeling requires a lot of energy and mental power from the dog so give them a break to process in between. You can still train each day but do something different in between!

Mate, pls tell me how to have the rear end follows, when using a dog bowl on the floor, my guy is not tilting around

How would you get a small dog who can't catch food to target on your armpit rather than face?

@jamiethedogtrainer1735

I’d use a target stick instead! So get the smaller dog to target a ball on the end of a stick! Allows you to get really precise head position.

So it's normal business practice to remove comments you don't agree with. Is that right?

If you’re referring to the other comment you asked about recall and distractions that is on another video, not this one.

I understand you didn't from this post, however the other you did. I don't believe anything was rude. I t may have been removed by error. The following was my response.I'd have to politely disagree with you on that. Unless the distraction is just out of shot. The dog is on a lead and the dog in the distance is about 40 metres away. That's not recall with distractions.

All good. Can you check if the comment is on your end. It seems to have gone when I look at it. Cheers. Rusty. @@jamiethedogtrainer1735
