Puppy Training | Heel Work & Marking

Heel work and positioning are important early steps towards successful marking/sending. Having an exact and replicable send/heel is valuable.

Getting the puppy into the right mental state at this stage helps set things up for the future, too.

Teaching a young dog that everything to be picked is at 12 o’clock, and that all good things happen from there, is a simple early lesson that can eliminate problems further down the line.

Take a look and see what you think.

As always, just my opinion.

There’s work to be done.
