Heeling is such an ongoing process of training. It definitely has to be one of the most difficult skills to train. I for one, really enjoy teaching the dogs to heel. I know I'm kind of crazy, but what's new? LOL I just LOVE the feeling when you and your dog are walking in sync, it's just beautiful. Watching the really experienced Obedience teams heel together is so cool! I can't say Dare and I are quite to that point yet, but we're making progress and so I thought I'd share a video from the other day. We are training at our friend's building and she had several of her own dogs out there, as well as the two puppies she's keeping. So we had some distractions from other dogs. We also left out some obstacles in our path to heel around. Dare did such a nice job! :-)

once again I am humbled by you and Dares progress. . .or is it humiliated?LOL She is doing Awesome!
ReplyDeleteKatie would it make you feel better if I posted video of her snatching my dinner out off my plate or right out of my hands? Oh wait, she would NEVER do something bad like that! She's practically perfect. LOL
ReplyDeleteDare is doing an awesome job of heeling! Oh my gosh, she is so good at it - that attention is amazing!
ReplyDeleteSorry I forgot to check back at the comments on your last post - yes, it is Shirley and she did name her little girl Clever. I told her about you and Dare today and will send her a link to this blog. I haven't met Clever in person yet but hope to soon!
Look at that but flip in! So very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ricky and Cynthia. I'm really happy with Dare, but that's nothing new. I just adore this girl!
ReplyDeleteRicky, That's so cool that you are friends with Shirley and Clever. Her pictures are just to cute!
I'm amazed at Dare's attention to you when you goe past those other dogs! That is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sara,
ReplyDeleteDare is doing great. It's actually much harder for her to concentrate when we're outside, so that's what we need to start focusing on now that the weather is warming up.
