| Re: Off lead heeling
I have to add my vote to the moving briskly. I've been told to MOVE OUT! And to stop looking backwards. Even just the tilt of your head or a shift of your shoulders can broadcast that you're looking to 'help' your dog. You're not helping them - you're coddling them and enforcing the 'if you slow down, I'll look for you". Nope! Just move out, head up and straight.
Parker's reaction to that is - where're you goin' so fast?   So he keeps up to see what's up.
