In this episode, I discuss the difference between heelwork and loose-lead walking. I conceptualise heelwork and what it is (a moving stay, with a beginning and an end - and duration in between). And I discuss one huge consideration for training specifically retriever heelwork, when using positive reinforcement: How do we prevent the dog staring up at us, and missing marks?
