@Bex Haskins amazing! Let us know if you have any questions
🏆 COMPETITION TIME — CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD!
🏆 COMPETITION TIME — BUT FIRST… WHAT DO YOU WANT TO WIN? A lot of you are completely new to Skool, so a quick explanation of how the leaderboard works: Skool has a built-in points system. When other members like your posts or comments, you earn points and climb the community leaderboard. So post your training. Ask questions. Share your wins. Comment on other people’s videos. Give someone a like. Tell them they’re doing a great job. Post a dog meme if you want 😂 I want this community to be alive, active and supportive. And I’m going to start rewarding the Top 5 members on the leaderboard every 30 days. But rather than me deciding what you want… YOU tell me. What would you actually like to win? POLL: - 🎥 Private 1-to-1 training/video review with me - 👥 Exclusive small-group coaching call - 💰 Big discount on a future course - 🎁 Karate For Dogs gear / goodies Vote below 👇 And if there’s something else you’d rather win, put it in the comments. You seemed to like the $1 Heelwork deal, so I’m guessing I already know which option some of you are going to choose 😂 ps. in competition can take part all the members not only those that singed up for H4D Game on!

@Petra Oltheten sounds like a plan ;)
Heelwork practice
Here is our little attempt at heelwork. I have done fair bit with Frank so he understands to stay under the arm. Little pup Oreo has no idea what’s happening 🤣 Any tips what to do about the bunny hopping would be greatly appreciated ☺️

First of all great job! To address bunny hopping you need more control over the movement in general. So I want stronger contact with my main luring hand (the one I hold food in- kong hand) work in that alone for a bit. I will unlock module on that! then I will adjust 2 things - how fast I’m moving and how high is my luring hand. Usually if you speed up that does the trick. That means spending little bit more time on the step 2 and addressing it over there before going into step 3. Hope it helps!
Heeling (sort of)
Just sharing where I’m at, reason for me doing heelwork is for focus past distractions & reactivity. He will follow the lure really well but I’ve not progressed to no lure. Mostly I struggled with walking backwards to begin with I need to keep watching the steps to understand what’s next @Alex Lato

This is very nice. You can start this way (from second step) I add chin rest asap while the food is still in my hand. Depending on the dog and my goals chin rest can be subtle eg. Two fingers under chin or even just a touch on the side of the chic. If I have a strong hight energy confident dog and I care a lot about head angle/position full hand chin rest. If I have more sensitive dog that I try to build more enthusiasm in and I’m not fussed about head angle / position too much - left hand contact point is more subtle. Hope it helps !
What your biggest challenge in Heelwork training?
Hey guys! First of all thank you to all joined Heelwork 4 Dummies! If you are new here don't forget to introduce yourself in pinned post :) Second of all - Help me Help You! 🚨 ⚠️Tell me what is your biggest challenge in heelwork training? or what stage you are at? 🐕 I'm planning extra content on focused heelwork (along with street aka everyday heeling that was heavily requested) That will give me ideas for the content and tutorials that are coming!

@Ave Paasuke i dont recall the video- always tag me pls so I don’t miss it. Bunny hopping sometimes comes down to easy adjustment of the luring hand and a pace we move. Then catching those good moments and rewarding them :)

@Jenny Knight yes we all are facing this challenge at some point. Bringing one form of activation is a game changer. One thing it is addressing this challenge directly another that we can react to ‘flat’ heeling, bring the drive and enthusiasm back and reward only good reps 🤩
