I have swapped food for a ball, just makes Maggi super excited at first, I had focus from her, I walked up the garden where she was looking up and then though the ball for fun, I do find when I mix play with training Maggi responds well, walked up the road and still had focus but when I was out, Maggi got fed up with the ball, looking back maybe I should of swapped back to food, I feel I made alittle more progress today, 😀

As promised 2 extra bonus modules are live! and 3rd one, very short one :) Before you start any training or regardless where you are un the heelwork journey watch the part on building focus and play! sometimes all you need is the better presentation of the food to make a massive change. Then we have 3 alternative ways to step 1. this is for you guys that wants to train faster or already started different way eg. left hand lure. ps. this is not a hollywood production but it will give you solid idea LOL Hope you enjoy it!

Hi everyone, just started my first day of heel work, at the moment just for fun, this is something I have been working on alone, but I need to tidy it up more, (put the icing on the cake 😀) the main thing I am trying to gain is that Maggi has more focus on me, and need to look up more, I do short bursts in the garden for today,

Thank you for all of you that voted! As most of you are at the beginning of the journey with heelwork training I plan to publish 2 extra modules. 1) 3 alternative ways to start heelwork training (step 1). - there are different ways to the same goal and sometimes with some teams we do first step in a little bit different way. But also few of you have started heelwork training different way (eg. left hand lure) so I want to give you roadmap on how to fit that into H4D and 7 step system. 2) All learning starts with motivation and building focus. And we need quite a lot of it in focused heelwork (no pun intended). We start often with the food games and luring but then adding some more drive and enthusiasm with toy play. Some of you did Play with Purpose so that will be brief reminder of lay formula while others will get some idea on how to build play event to power their heelwork training. Stay tuned!

He seems more comfortable with the left hand than I expected & seems happy with contact. I have to stop myself from jumping to next step too soon. @Alex Lato is next step to gradually raise right hand?
