Heelwork to heaven vol 1.

This course will be the first of the three part heelwork series!   Vol 1. focuses on stationary exercises and prerequiste skills.   What is the first exercise that comes to your mind when you think about competing in obedience?  Let me guess – heelwork? On the other hand, it is also the exercise that most of teams stuggle with and have a hard time breaking it down into teachable units.  

If you are just starting, this course will be perfect for you. You will learn foundations for heelwork that will score the maximum number of points.  How to teach a dog the correct head position?  What should the perfect pivot look like?  How to teach it all with errorless progression?  You will get the answers in this course!

The course will also benefit teams who already take part in the competition, but would like to improve their results.  It doesn’t matter if – your dog sits crookedly, pivtos with his butt on the ground or drops his head every 5 seconds – together we will go through this process and build a perfect routine.

Close your eyes and imagine the perfect heelwork you would like to achieve.  Can you see it?  Good, we will build solid fundaments to achieve this picture within six weeks!  There is one condition – you must sign up for this course with me 😄
