Hi everyone,

I have a couple of questions on successfully teaching "watch me". Sam isn't great when focusing on me when heeling...he sort of does "heel by feel" as our trainer at the obedience club calls it. She told me to raise my left leg up higher as I walk but it doesn't really phase Sam. He's just as content with my knee smacking him in the head. He does a great watch when we're a post during figure eight's for people. I tried string cheese in my mouth. But he focuses after we halt and he sits.

I can say "watch" but I don't think he gets it outside of being a figure eight post. He sometimes looks up and most of the time doesn't. I don't think he's not listening....but he doesn't really get the command. This is something relatively new I've been trying to work on so...it's not that Sam is copping an attitude. I don't think he know's what I want from him. I need advice on how to teach it correctly. :)

What should I be doing to get a solid watch me?

Thanks in advance!
