The heel position. Interestingly, this is a common area where clients struggle! Our approach is not just “stay at my heel” - it why it’s important for you to achieve. Them walking behind our foot lulls them into a passive state of mind where they’re less reactive to their environment and more responsive to us. When their feet creep up alongside your shoe, consider yourself pulled into negotiations with your dog for who is leading the walk.
Don’t go passive here, encouragingly hold the line —this will give you the walk you’re wanting: Enjoyable for you both, our doggo is relaxed!
