If your dog struggles to stay put, spend more time rewarding them in position! Most people I see want to always call the dog to them and reward. This is ok, BUT, if you aren’t careful they will figure out your pattern and try to think ahead. If I have a green dog 80-90% of the time I’m coming back to the dog to reward for holding the position. They would much rather race over to you than wait patiently.

Walk the dog🤔
•being able to move about freely, able to empty out, sniff, and explore is much more fulfilling to the dog rather than walking calmly in the heel position
•giving the dog space to move away from you via flexi or long line creates a different picture for the dog, therefore a little pulling into the lead is ok. I would not allow a dog that understands heeling to pull me around within a few feet.
• be sure to release the dog to go ahead and don’t allow them to make their own decision. For me the free command is “OK”
• if you’re struggling with loose leash heeling with a young or excitable dog a few minutes of freedom at the beginning of your walk to take the edge off can really help

Dog training is a lot of work. It takes quality time to achieve quality results. There are no short cuts. People don’t like to be inconvenienced, and the effort it takes to have a truly well trained dog can be just that. In today’s world people want it to happen right now. When you see Tom Brady throw a touch down or Steph Curry shoot the game winner, you see an all star. What you don’t see is the countless hours of preparation and time spent developing those skills. When you see a dog that performs flawlessly you see a “good” dog. You don’t see the long road it took to get there. Dog trainers understand this. Dog owners often times do not. Stay the course, be consistent, and be fair. When it all comes together the juice is worth the squeeze.
Recalls with CK. The goal
in training should be adding the control without taking the dogness away.
