Focused Heel with Maya

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Focused Heel is one of the most impressive of obedience exercises.  It is used in all dog obedience sports such as AKC, IPO /IGP Schutzhund as well as the Ring Sports.  It looks very simple, but it’s not!  It takes a long time to build a good focused heel.

In this online dog training lesson I’ll break down the basics of the focused heel.  I’ve taught it before, but it is ALWAYS a good idea to revisit training exercises from a fresh perspective.  There are a few other parts to this lesson, such as some corrective tools as well as a version using the e-collar for corrections.  I will post them in the near future.  For now, spend some time learning this portion, it will come in very handy for the following lessons…

Building a good focused heel requires a good relationship with your dog and a trust.  Your dog is required to look at you, not where he or she is going.  This requires a connection and blind trust.  As I said, it takes a long time to build this exercise so let’s get started with training.

This is a long video lesson, almost 30 minutes and it will take you a long time to perfect – so be patient![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1609801143070{margin-bottom: 20px !important;border-top-width: 3px !important;border-right-width: 3px !important;border-bottom-width: 3px !important;border-left-width: 3px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: #ffd400 !important;border-left-color: #000000 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #000000 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #000000 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #000000 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Focused Heel is one of the most impressive Obedience Exercises!” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:20|text_align:center|line_height:1.4″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1609801111081{background-color: #efefef !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Recommended Products for this Lesson” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|line_height:1.4″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”]
