Footwork Timing
Footwork is VERY important when adding halts as this will be your cue that your dog sees first.
Remember:
- Practice footwork and verbal timing BEFORE adding your dog
- BEFORE your left heel gets ready to hit the ground,
- Say “sit” to your dog.
- Stop as you are tucking your dog’s rear end.
- Ideally, your dog is in the sit by the time your right foot plants.
- Keep your training sessions short, fun, and full of energy and play.
