so i thought this would be a good place to post all my notes etc from class for students to review.
Here's what we covered tonight in the cold with Odin and Chino. We braved the cold and talked primarily about heel position.
These tidbits are for while you are in heel position which is quite different than the loose leash walking skill.
look and talk at the loction you want your dog to be
when you're doing a turn into your dog remember to drop your dog side shoulder back and give your dog a cue that you're about to turn.
maybe drop your hand down to their face to catch their attention with a treat until they get the hang of this new version of the game. The goal is to have them drop slightly behind you as you turn into them.
Make sure your leash is slack. Rely on other forms of communication like your voice, eyes etc.
down while heeling:
be sure to slow your body down before you cue the down.
