We could spend a year and 50 lessons on building a perfect focused heel… and it would all be time well spent. After the lesson I posted a few weeks ago on focused heeling, a few of you reached out and asked about my “secret.” I’ve never done a lesson or even a youtube video on this tool, but in this lesson I will expose it. I literally just went to the park this afternoon to shoot it with Maya, Duane and Janet. I really want you to have this info.
The secret tool I use is a magnetic ball and you can get one from amazon, but they are not in big supply. I’ll post a link to the ball in the next day or two. to be honest, I need Alin to do it for me.
However, using this tool, I’ve developed an awesome heel on Goofy, Maya and Duane. I used the same methodology with all of them, so I KNOW it works!
This online dog training lesson will teach you several different methodologies to using it and how I apply them. The way you position the ball makes all the difference in the world – as does how you reward your dog. I shot anther part to this video, but will post it in the future, since this lesson will be enough to digest in one sitting.
I will also make a video on how you can make your own magnetic ball system. But for now, follow the lesson to see what I’m doing and what makes it work!
