This is by far the best video ive watched on comp heeling. no body includes details on drive building and how to build a flashy response to marker words. well done
@@robrob6287 the whole “worst dog trainer I’ve seen in my life” is not only extremely dramatic (lol) but also very rude. Relax, scroll on by and watch your favourite dog trainers instead:)
Thanks for a thorough and helpful clip. Keeping handler enuthiastic and chipper voice makes a big difference with Epsilon. Using the box for better, bum in, heel position and following focus looks so smooth with you two. It is a slow process. Short and consistent. We are still working on making this cue more effective. I made many mistakes which we are still working on improving in cueing and maintaining long, distracting environment, close and focused heels that ADs often have to manage. Rushing towards the goal of getting out meant I put a young dog into the position of handler using lead as a steering wheel instead of a safety belt. My observant puppy learnt to lean into the lead. I found your training handler cueing techniques for heel practical and useful. Thanks. 😎🐾
Best heel guide ive seen so far. I have a 4 month old aussie sheperd already doin a focus heel because of this and soon leaning to the contact heel. Thank you!
Great video! Really appreciate that you are giving all of those small (but crucial) details that are so important to know in order to achieve exact behaviors!! I've subscribed to your channel.
Excellent tutorial! Thorough descriptions of the mechanics and exercises, encouragement to stick with it, great attitude. Thank you. going out now to make adjustments to what I’ve been doing 😃
Great video! In your video, you always have your dog go in a heel position on the same side. I see some trainers teaching their dogs to go behind them into the heel position. Do you teach your dog to go into the heel position the same way all the time?
I am getting my next service dog prospect soon. I want to do obedience and rally with her, as a fun bonding experience for both of us. I don't want her to do the competition style heel while we are working, only when we are competing or training. How do I get her to know the difference? Should I use separate words for them?
I wouldn’t practise this every day. Have a day break in between. Heeling requires a lot of energy and mental power from the dog so give them a break to process in between. You can still train each day but do something different in between!
Do you have any tips for correcting a skippy step in heel? Like bouncing on one leg and not really doing the prance consistently… for reference my dog is a short Australian shepherd- comes to just above my knee so that makes this a bit more tricky :)
Hey! Yeah so it’s all about capturing rhythm! So keep luring and wait until there’s a moment where the dog falls into a good rhythm with no skipping and mark/reward straight away. You can also play around different head positions. Sometimes a too high head position can cause skipping so lowering ever so slightly can improve rhythm! Hope that helps!
Personally, for certain commands like recall I only use the command when I have something to give my dog either treats or lots of praise. For other commands that he understands I give treats randomly but he’ll always get praise. He never knows if he’ll get a treat or not. Using treats on recall lets my dog know I have treats though he doesn’t know when he’ll get them. I also use his play time for training. So instead of treats I use his toys as rewards. Either a ball throw or some tugging. This has helped a lot since he learns how to control his energy and be more focused.
I understand you didn't from this post, however the other you did. I don't believe anything was rude. I t may have been removed by error. The following was my response.I'd have to politely disagree with you on that. Unless the distraction is just out of shot. The dog is on a lead and the dog in the distance is about 40 metres away. That's not recall with distractions.
Are you a real dog trainer? OMG.... Poor dogs... I only see billions of errors... When you want i challenge you to show you how big are your mistakes...
Useless comment. At least call out these so called mistakes. IMO TH-cam is only for ideas, not quality instruction. At least he’s offering the whole process for free. So how bout u stop being an ungrateful asshole n just watch something else. If you’re so professional why are you even watching the video tutorial in the first place?

agreed
Please make more videos like this. This is the best focus heel tutorial I found in TH-cam
Are you serious? Maybe you are a friend of him.... The worse dog trainer i saw in my life...making videos with trained dog... Pleaseeee
@@robrob6287haha a “trained dog”. Can you take a guess who trained them?😂

Thank you so much! This has been the best explanation of heelwork I have seen and I can't wait to give it a try.
Thank you so much for this feedback! This encourages me to make more tutorials!
@@jamiethedogtrainer1735 yes please!!
This is a great video Jamie! Thanks for taking the time to put this together, I love the process you have and will work through it with Piper!
Thanks so much for this feedback! Love to hear how you progress with Piper!

Your videos are soo efficient and effective. Wow! I am so happy I found you. Please keep em coming.
Thank you! I’ll be much more active on here from now! Appreciate the feedback!

Your channel should have a million followers
U are good teacher 🔥
Thank you!
Excellent video! Well done! Great information! Thank you!!!!
I agree with the other comments ...This tutorial is the best I have seen on teaching focused heel !!!
What a great guide. Thanks so much for making the video and sharing!
Fabulous 🎉 Thanks do much!!!

Thank you very much! It's working on my gsd😊.

Wonderful video! Can you please or anyone respond to the treats / food? What are you using for the training?
What do you use for treats ?
Thank you for the tutorial 🙏🏼
This was amazing, My dog is smaller. What would you use for treats?
I use spd roll by prime 100 but any soft high value healthy treats are fine!
How long did it take to get your end picture? Thanks for such a nice guide!
QUESTION: HOW DO I TEACH THE ORBIT AND SWITCH MOVES YOU SHOW HERE? Thanks! :D (Jen & Grace)
I’ll post up a tutorial soon!
Do you have a video on teaching the orbit?
I am getting my next service dog prospect soon. I want to do obedience and rally with her, as a fun bonding experience for both of us. I don't want her to do the competition style heel while we are working, only when we are competing or training. How do I get her to know the difference? Should I use separate words for them?
Should you teach a new marker if you already use YES for everything else you’ve been tracking where an “explosive reaction” might not be appropriate?
Would recommend practicing everyday? Once or multiple times a day? And how long should be a session?
thank you 😊
I wouldn’t practise this every day. Have a day break in between. Heeling requires a lot of energy and mental power from the dog so give them a break to process in between. You can still train each day but do something different in between!
Mate, pls tell me how to have the rear end follows, when using a dog bowl on the floor, my guy is not tilting around

How would you get a small dog who can't catch food to target on your armpit rather than face?
I’d use a target stick instead! So get the smaller dog to target a ball on the end of a stick! Allows you to get really precise head position.
Some people don't want me to eat food rewards that have fallen on the ground, what's the right thing?
Do you do these in order or doesn’t it matter which heel exercise you start with
Is it possible to get my 3 yr old GSD to heel in this position? She wasn't trained like this before I got her.
More videos dude.
May I ask you, if my dog is a dachshund, how I can treat her without let her jump to get it.
Get down to your dog. It’s the same with a puppy
My dog is not very food motivated or toy motivatied but she is high energy dog. Got any tips?
Use a toy instead of treats, but teach out command first
what treats did you use?
Anyone know where to get a box like that?
@@David.Eng. I sell them! I’ll put the link in my bio
What should I do if the dog only do what you want when you only have treats
Personally, for certain commands like recall I only use the command when I have something to give my dog either treats or lots of praise. For other commands that he understands I give treats randomly but he’ll always get praise. He never knows if he’ll get a treat or not.

Very useful information
Does the dog have to heel on your left?
No, left or right, but usually right.
👏👏👏👏👍
Wait, why do you want them to pull, bark, and lunge for the bowl?
To build up that drive. Like he said, this isn’t something you’re going to do with your every day family dog. This is for a certain kind of dog.
Hello, is there an ideal age to start this training?
No
What if my dog has way more drive with the toy?
Then use the toy
So it's normal business practice to remove comments you don't agree with. Is that right?
I’ve never removed any comments from here?!
If you follow all my socials you’ll know I’m generally really open to robust discussion providing it’s not rude or off topic! I don’t remove comments.
If you’re referring to the other comment you asked about recall and distractions that is on another video, not this one.
I understand you didn't from this post, however the other you did. I don't believe anything was rude. I t may have been removed by error. The following was my response.I'd have to politely disagree with you on that. Unless the distraction is just out of shot. The dog is on a lead and the dog in the distance is about 40 metres away.
