Watch to the end for a NEW Training TIP
Teaching LEFT TURNS – SLOW
- With your standing on your left side and your hand low on the leash close to the snap hook and the leash taut, extra leash can be held in the right hand.
- Have the palm of your hand flat, hand on the front side of the leash so that you are reining back and slightly towards your body as you make the turn.
- Take a few steps forward in a SLOW PACE, start to shift your weight to your left leg.
- As you are doing this, rein back on your leash to help cue your dog rotate his rear to maintain heel position.
- Release your dog by dropping a toy from under your left arm.
- Make sure the dog is looking up and watching you at all times when making the turn.
- Play and interact with the dog before trying the repetition again.
- Make sure your dog is focused up on you during every step.
- If the dog is not properly rotating rear, revisit your REA training in other videos posted.

Thank you for these videos.
I train in Rally and have made it to Excellent but my dog has regressed somewhat in the ring with lagging and sniffing so I am going back to the basics. Your videos are giving me a great step by step process to revisit, strengthen, and rebuild value to being at my side and for heeling with me.
how awesome! I’m delighted to hear you are enjoying videos … loads more to come … keep me posted
