Very impressive technique. One of my dogs has high prey drive and poor food drive and I used the ball on a string as a target, which I've played with repeatedly to build drive for the ball. On the other hand, I have another dog that doesn't have as much prey drive where the dog has prey, but not enough to work for the prey item, but has decent food drive. This is a very good approach. Thanks for posting.
very interesting method of hard targeting heeling instead of just luring with food and a hot dog as you go. Question: how much time elapse from hand-touch, to one-fers than two fers and 3 fers and so forth before you add motion? 2 weeks , once per day for 15 min, per each step?

Heeling and focused heeling is a big pain point for us. Going to try this method, thank you!
