Hey y’all! 🐶✨
Here is a quick and easy video explaining the “heel” command and showing our progress with sweet-but-rambunctious Koda!
Here’s some information on Koda.
He is a three year old Great Pyrenees/Australian Shepherd mix. Both breeds are extremely high energy and constantly need a way to outsource that energy. He is in training to learn how to control some of the energy in order for his owners to be able to take him on walks without having to worry about him pulling them down.
He loves to pull on the leash at cars and trucks going by. Before I began working with him, he continuously pulled his owner’s mother down as he lunged at cars and cats. We hace slowly worked on socializing him with cats and cars and, although he does get fixated, he no longer lunges towards either of his previous triggers (at least not as much. We are still continuing to work on that!)
Without further ado, here is a video of Nova Ardis training Koda to heel!
