Heeling. You need to decide first if you want your dog in a formal heel or is walking a foot or two away okay for you. After this decision is made pick your level and enjoy the challenge.
Beginner-in a secured area try to get your dog to be in the desired position without using a leash to pull your dog into position. Tip holding cookies or a toy and after a couple of steps rewarding them for being in position will help teach them that close/ heel is a desired position.
Advanced- Try to get your dog to Heel over or near a favorite item without them leaving position.
Dharma- Worked very well today. She was heeling nicely with frequent turns right past the entrance to the agility tunnel.
Kizzie-The back yard is still very distracting for her, so I had her dragging her leash while we did one step cookie, one step cookie. She made it all 5 minutes without bounding off with the distractions of life.
Good Luck and have fun.

Charley- He worked the advanced very well. 🙂
Choski- well she needs a little more work, we worked the beginner with her and cookies = perfect show stack.
Go Kizzie! Dharma rocks. 🙂
I read your daily challenges. Some day I’ll make 5 minutes (Okay, 10 with two dogs) to try them.
