Teaching our dog heelwork is like teaching them how to dance. Done well it IS impressive and many dogs love it. However, like dancing it takes coordination, concentration and strength. Heelwork is not the same as teaching our dogs how to enjoy a walk on a loose lead. In order to teach a dog not to pull, we need to think of what behaviours the dog does when walking in a relaxed manner, then teach those as skills. For Otis this is 🔹️ Walking pace 🔹️ Head position almost in line with his shoulder

Want beautiful, precise heelwork? Start with the back end! Perches and pivots are game-changers when it comes to laying solid foundations for heelwork in dog sports. They help develop crucial rear-end awareness, teach your dog how to find and maintain position, and allow you to build understanding without needing your dog right on your leg from day one. This is especially powerful for young dogs, small dogs, or those still developing confidence and body awareness. It takes the pressure off and l

Want great heelwork? Try this ↩️ We call this exercise Drunk Dog Walking. Can you guess why I like it? Hold the lead in a fixed position by your belly-button so you don’t feel the need to start yanking on it like a lever. Take no more than 3 steps in any direction: ⬆️ Backwards ➡️ Sideways ⬅️ ⬇️ Forwards At the point the lead is loose with a bend in it, say “Yes’ 🥳 so you’re dog knows what they did that was right and feed them. Even if the point where the lead is loose is half a nano-second as

Here are the easy stages we use to teach heelwork. The end goal is to have a dog who will walk nicely by your side without pulling on the lead. That said, start with the exact opposite of walking forwards, walk backwards. It is then impossible for your dog to pull on the lead! Stage 1: using food in your hand as a lure, walk backwards progressively more steps (with a bend in the lead as your dog walks with you) Stage 2: half way between backwards and our ultimate goal of walking forwards, you no

Here’s entire heelwork training process 🆓 That’s 4 week’s of training in under 4 minutes! No lead yanking, no strangling your dog into submission with a slip lead. Instead, changing their motivation to actually want to walk nicely by your side. Layer 1: Lure & walk backwards Layer 2: Walk backwards & reward Layer 3: Walk sideways & reward Layer 4: Pivot to walk forwards & reward This should take you up to 4 weeks, so you will probably want to save this one to refer back. Give it a go and let me

Want to know about the biggest mistake when training heelwork? I see people all the time just freeze on the spot, with their dog suspended on the end of the lead. It’s like, by freezing on the spot, that’s going to teach the dog a lesson. They wait for the dog to check back in before they continue walking. Why is this a mistake? Because it doesn’t bloody work! The dog is oblivious to the lesson it is being taught. Need proof? Watch the dog do exactly the same thing again a couple of minutes late

FOCUS HEEL TIP: What’s your dog focused on?Although you need to spend a lot of time refining the actual heel position, where your dog is actually looking during the heel is what I think is most important. Where they are looking drastically alters your dogs rhythm and can completely change your dogs heeling picture and gait. I like my dogs focusing on either under my armpit or the side of my face! If your dog is focusing on the front of your face you will find your dogs head will wrap too far aro

✨ Heel work is a project — not a picture. ✨ Everyone loves watching beautiful, effortless heel work… that perfect connection, rhythm, and precision. But what most people don’t see is the process behind it — the hours spent building motivation, confidence, and understanding before the “pretty picture” ever appears. In the beginning, heel work doesn’t look glamorous. It’s messy. It’s full of shaping, experimenting, play, and encouragement. Because before you ever start layering in precision and te
