Teaching An Older Dog To Heel

[paddles]

Hi, I'm looking for an article on how to teach a fast walking dog to slow down and stay at heel. we have not quite mastered loose lead walking, and it has been suggested that I need to put more work into the very basic obediance side of things, ie, heeling, sitting, dropping etc. the main problem is that my dog walks considerably faster than I do, and I'm told that I should correct him back to my speed. I seem to be correcting every stride. I think I need to go back to extreme basics with him.

thank you

I think a trainer or a dog club could show you in 10 minutes what you might never get from an article.

Using positive methods, you may not have to 'correct' the dog at all.

In which case, head for u-tube and get a copy of this book

If you can't see a trainer in person you could try K9 Pro's loose leash distance learning package.
