I enjoy your video. Like how you use the left u turn. Have you tried feeding with your left hand instead of your right? I have found feeding with my right tends to brings the dog forward, toward the front of me. Feeding with my left hand has kept my dogs to the left of me. Just a thought.
I don’t feed from my left hand because 1. I want to be able to manage the leash with my left hand. 2. I don’t want to distract my dog with the food so close to him. 3. Feeding from the left hand lures the dog and it’s harder to fade out the food. 4. I don’t feed while heeling. I stop the lesson and drop the treat on the ground to incorporate prey drive to increase motivation. By feeding from the left hand it teaches the dog to watch your hand instead of making eye contact.
As you can see, Lucky isn’t too close that he negatively impacts me. Consistently mark and reward the position you want your dog to be in. I want my dog very close. You can mark and reward when your dog is a bit farther away. Just be consistent.
@@BaebeasDogTrainingPortlandthank you! For me, that would be too close and a trip/stumble hazard. As it is, I've had judges ask me why my dog is about 6" further out than yours is in this video and most have understood without an ADA letter from AKC, though I am working on getting one of those.
@@bunniesbunniesbunnie as you can see, my dog isn’t touching me. But, you can reward your dog before he gets this close. With this method you can train your dog at whatever distance you want.
I wasn’t “popping” the leash but pulling him back so he would pivot. If you noticed his left turns her pretty sloppy at the beginning and much tighter and neater at the end.

Can you show us how to help with dog lagging during heel?
Absolutely.
I want to send you my guy for a month 😂😂😂
having my dog so close is a trip/stumble hazard for me. what on earth should I do about that?

Obviously you have some space for both of you to walk comfortably. If you still trip then you’re just clumsy 😅

I don't see a reason to pop the leash on every turn, but I like your idea to turn left to get a tighter heel.
