Teaching Backing in Heel
- With your dog in heel (not in a sit) have your left hand at your side with your leash taught in a reining position.
- As your rein back on your leash, give your dog your heel command.
- Yes, I use my heel command anytime I want my dog to remain in position whether we are going forward, backward, sideways or not moving at all.
- Take 1 (one) step back with your LEFT foot. Praise and reward your dog.
- Spend time engaging between ALL repetitions.
- Add an additions step ONLY once your dog understands the first step back.
- Stay at slow pace until your dog can do multiple steps successfully.
- WATCH YOUR LEFT SHOULDER and make sure they remain forward.
- ALWAYS spend time with foundations before moving on in training.
