Trialling And Eye Contact

Fantastic news Jeanne!

Warming up is just don't go straight into the ring without a little reminder of some kind that he's going to be working.

My idea is you get the dog heeling nicely so as you are entering the ring and going to the post he's kind of in gear,

ie already has started to heel. Then when you are at the post, hopefully he's in the heeling frame of mind.

Warming up doesn't mean doing the whole trial or all the heeling before you go in, just setting the scene so to speak.
