Handling & Footwork
Points to Remember:
- Straight Line Heeling – Your goal is to keep your footwork as simple as possible. Hit that “EASY BUTTON”!
- Eye cues – Look on the floor about 2 feet in front of you when heeling in a normal pace. Look where you are going.
- Head cues – Relax your head and slightly tilt it downward so you can see the floor and your dog’s nose out of the corner of your eye.
- Turns – LOOK where you are going, THEN TURN!
- Teach the weight shift cue.
- Teach One Way Focus (OWF)
Training Reminders.
- In every training session ALWAYS add 1-3 repetitions of DIG work.
- Use Leash Reining to keep REA (Rear End Awareness) crisp while training.
- Make sure to reward your dog randomly when training especially in the turn.
- Also train OWF, One Way Focus. A must have for Rally!
- Break incorrect skills out of sequencing until perfected.
