I really love how you broke down the human mechanics and the dog mechanics separately. It really helps to separate yourself from the dog when learning new skills!!
Good human mechanics are a huge part of desired results :)
I have really bad anxiety so I like that dogs go off physically cues instead of verbal ones. It means I can give my dog commands without other people knowing
Definitely helps to have both physical and verbal cues that you can use interchangeably as needed!
My dogs deaf. I use physical and visual cues. I LOVE her training!
I definitely found this video helpful. One of my dogs is a mind reader and has figured out how to heel despite my poor training. The other comes 3/4 of the way around that U and kind of shuffles her feet. She teaches me so much about myself. 😅 Anyway, I'll definitely be working on our heel with this info. Thanks, Laura!
Don't you love when they just figure it out despite us? Jake was like that - that's why CoolWhip came along - to make me work for it 😆
You are a very good teacher. Learn much from your videos. Also you have a great personality.
I find so much valuable instruction from you!!!
Thank you Marlene! Getting these types of comments makes all the (boring) time editing these videos worth it
I'm a owner trainer and I have taught my dog to heel off leash and I am teaching him to heel on his leash great video!!
So glad this video is helpful!
Oh I LOVE this! This is an entirely different way that I learned to teach heel. I think Winry's going to get a real kick out of this method - it's perfect for her!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
Great information! I love how you break it down into many steps for both human and dog.
So glad you found it helpful!
Great breakdown. IDK how you do it but you always seem to put out the video I need most when I need it! Thanks for all that you do
Oh I love to hear that Valerie!! Have a great weekend!
Great video Laura. Thanks so much. This one came at the perfect time for me. My daughter and I had to take a break from public access work for a while we worked on other things and we’re just getting back into it now and I’ve been reviewing basics with her at home but some of the foundational stuff like healing things are that I never taught her in the first place because I received her from a program where she had already learned it. and I was just saying to myself yesterday how I really want to break down of a good way to do And this was a perfect video show me how to do that so thanks very much. Could you make a similar one on how to teach a back block. My dog and I have been working on that for a bit and she’s definitely making progress but it’s hard for me to get her to stay straight behind me sometimes she kind of comes into half a heel.
I'm so glad this video was helpful!
Are you over on Patreon? I actually have a video on the beginning steps of teaching a back block over there right now. You can find it here: www.patreon.com/posts/block-cover-dog-82717698
How brilliant are you....and your dog!!
I love your step by step breakdown of this, will definitely be trying this.
Thank you (Dublin, Ireland ☘️)
Dublin! That's a new one for me! Thanks for taking the time to comment on this one. So glad you're enjoying the videos!
You have the best videos, thank you!
Thank you so much! Happy Training!
Great video and I love that you go step by step :)
Thanks Michelle!
My german Shepherd puppy that i got at 8 weeks and shes already healing at 11 weeks bc of you (im training her to be my psychiatric service🐕)
Yayy! I’m so glad my videos are helpful! Happy training! 💜💜💜😊
Can you please do a tutorial on how to teach hug? I want to learn how to do this with my next guide dog. Thank you.
Hey Afron - what type of hug are you talking? I use "hug" for DPT, but I also use hug for when I want them to hug for when they use their front arms to wrap around something?
I love how you show the complete move in detail and how you referred to other videos that are related to this. Thanks a bunch😊
You're welcome Linda!
This is a great video. My former obedience instructor taught me to teach my dog Griet to heel in a similar way, and how you've broken things down reminds me of how much I miss her. You have a natural gift for teaching both humans and dogs. I know it's impossible because I'm in WI and you're probably not taking clients, but man, I wish I could work with you in person on teaching this to the ratties that I raise. I find it much easier to teach the bigger dogs because it's easier for me to reach out and see what they're doing, plus their movements in the beginning are easier for me to read than the littler guys. The ratties do eventually learn, but I know there are some things I could be doing better in teaching them. Why aren't transporters available yet? "Beam me up, Laura, for a training lesson." I'll pay whatever fee as long as the fee isn't my dog. ::LOL::
I'm so glad you're enjoying the training! You're correct in that I'm not taking new clients at this time. I do get that working with the smaller dogs can be tougher sometimes. I recommend using a mirror to help to be able to see what's going on down there on those short legs. Happy Training! (let me know when you invent a transporter!)
@@DoggyU Hi Laura, thanks for your comment. I know, how about if you clone yourself and then you could be in multiple spaces at once to train those of us who want to work with you and who are willing to pay you? No? Oh poo!!
A mirror wouldn't work because I don't have any sight. It's easier with a bigger dog because I can more easily feel what he is doing through the leash or if I reach down. So far, with the littles, I start by working with them at my level--or rather me at theirs. So we do a lot of position work with the dog on an adjustable platform thingie. When they're finally on the ground and when possible, I borrow someone's eyes--usually my fiance's who is not at all a dog person--and we have a series of cues that he rapidly gives me if the dog moves out of position etc. This isn't always possible since I don't expect someone with working eyes to be with me all the time. ::LOL:: I also use a four-ft leash that's made very similar to the guide dog leash---the one I currently have is a braided nylon one--and that helps mostly. But I'm sure there are little things that I could be doing better. I find that the littler the ratty, the harder it is for me, especially the teenier puppies. Since I'll never train professionally, I prfer to work with the bigger ones as much as possible.
Please either consider cloning yourself or travelling to alternate universes and convincing other yous to come back here. But make sure that the other Lauras are as nice as you; if you bring back the evil Lauras, they might destroy the world. ::LOL::
I like Science Fiction too much!
@@khanhhm5762 Ah! I didn't realize! A mirror definitely isn't a good solution then. But starting them up on a pedestal definitely is! Sounds like you've made some awesome adaptations!
your videos are great, thanks!
Thanks os much Skip! 🥰
Really enjoy your vids. My 2 year old Schipperke and I are about to start obedience and agility competitions. Your training tips fill in a lot of gaps and also provide some different ways of doing or thinking about things. Great work. Thanks. 💪🏼🐺
Thanks for taking the time to comment John! I've never gotten the chance to work with a Schipperke but they look like such fun dogs! Have fun together!
thanks for the video. Really helpful:) My dog pops out of the heel position often, do I just keep resetting?? Service dog in training. Alos she will bring her bottom around when walking really slow so she is like sideways to my leg?? any suggestions.
Hey Katie - if you haven’t checked out my full loose leash walking playlist, I would do that now. You want to start with the video on better walking without a leash, which will teach your dog to choose to heel by your side, and make sure you’re rewarding from the hand on the same side your dog is on. Then progress to the figure 8 exercise. Hope that helps!
Thank you for posting this video! I am so sorry, but may I please ask a question unrelated to this video? Could you please share what do you like to use for flea and tick prevention? Thank you so much if you are reading this!!!
Hey Jess! Thanks for the question! Unfortunately, because flea/tick products tend to be regional, and this advice should be given from a licensed veterinarian in your area, I'm not the best person to ask this question to.
Hey question can u do a video on how a service dog or get a service dog to go potty in public relief areas mine is rather shy in public but goes to bathroom at home outside he’d rather hold it on trips.
Hi Jisley! I actually address this in my most recent livestream. Check it out here: th-cam.com/users/liveL8YZJBvC98g?feature=share
Love this, but I have a couple questions. What do you do to keep them in that position? I'm working with a cocker spaniel puppy and he lures into position well but often just walks away after two or three treats are given. He acts like he gets bored or distracted and doesn't care. I've tried high value treats, tuna, chicken, ham, bacon, beef, regular dog treats and cheese. Npthing works for his motivation. I swear this dog has HDHD.
I like to use the "join up" or choose to heel model, which you can check out in the video list in the description. That being said, we want to have appropriate expectations for a puppies age and attention span. I also want to make sure I'm structuring my sessions to be successful. Here's two videos that might have some tips that will help with cultivating enthusiasm for the work:

How do you make him stay in a heal without constantly breaking it on a walk?
does this work with a wheelchair? Thank you for your content btw.
You may have to modify a bit, use a target stick potentially for reach, or put peanut butter on a spoon, but yes, the concept definitely works!
Hi there I had a question. I’m training my own guide dog and I’ve come across a problem I can’t seem to solve. When my dog is guiding me she walks at angle putting her front paws in front of my feet any advice?
Without seeing the behavior, it would be impossible to give you an accurate diagnosis or resolution. That being said, this type of behavior can mean that she's worried about, or you have previously stepped on her, typically in the high end. Tilting her front end towards you pushed the hind end further away. You may want to consider an offset handle that puts you further from your dog by a few inches. But, like I said, I would not be able to make recommendations without seeing the behavior, and unfortunately, I'm not taking clients at this time. I recommend you reach out to local guide dog schools and see if they have any trainers that do training outside of the school. Hope that helped!
This response is way late after your comment was posted because I just watched the video, but maybe this will help. I'm a fellow owner trainer, and I agree with Laura that without either seeing the behavior or having an in depth discussion, it's impossible to provide more solid suggestions. I don't know if you did have success with guide dog schools helping--I don't think most schools are willing to assist owner trainers, though I never tried with my own owner trained dog because I knew my program wouldn't help and I had a solid network of fellow owner trainers to work with.If you haven't done so already, I would encourage you to reach out to fellow guide owner trainers. Guide dog owner trainers are fewer than service dog owner trainers but there are some amazing and very talented people out there who have trained multiple dogs. Meghan Whalen, Rox'E Homstad, Julie Johnson, Brooke Silloby and Cheree Heppe are some of the owner trainers who have a lot of experience.
Perhaps you've already figured out the solution to your issue. When I had a similar issue, it was because of how I was positioning my body and moving, inadvertently crowding her.
Good luck, and I hope you were able to have your problem resolved.
how does someone teach their dock to touch your hand when the dog is super tiny?
If you've got a super tiny dog, I recommend using a target stick. You teach them to touch the target first, outside of the come to heel and then use that target to teach the come to heel. You can buy extendy ones like this: amzn.to/4bpcSsz
Hope that helps!
How would the mechanics work with a wheelchair?
Hey Greyson! Unfortunately, wheelchair loose leash walking/mechanics is not my specialty within service dogs and I would hate to give you incorrect information. I'm actually taking a course on it right now to improve my knowledge (check out Donna Hill's Wheelchair LLW Mechanics course). That being said, the first two exercises would be the same, though you may want to use a different reinforcement strategy (like peanut butter on a spoon). Hope that at least directs you to a better resource for your needs! Best, Laura
Please do a Video training with a NON trained dog that way is more realistic expectations thank u
Hey Robi - you might find this video helpful: th-cam.com/video/wrd89bJtk28/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KORkd69biTaapzRC
Why do you if you are in a power wheelchair
I'd likely approach it in a slightly different way, using a hind end pivot and platform. That being said, I'm not an expert on wheelchair use, and am actually in a class now to increase my knowledge in that area. But for questions regarding heeling with a wheelchair, I would check out Donna Hill's wheelchair loose leash walking course. Hope that helps!
First I want to see a video training a Husky , and not a already trained dog like the one the u use in ur videos, and another thing is I will love to see a Husky cause I have two , I want to see how to walk on heel position with 2 dogs at the same time .
