Attention Heeling

[Nash's Mom]

I am having trouble with getting Nash to sit straight when we finish attention heeling.

He will walk anywhere (street, park etc.) while looking at me, but when we stop and he is supposed to sit, he turns his whole body at an angle so he is sitting at a 90 degree angle from my left side.

What should I do? Thanks in advance.

If you had a quick sit from a brisk heel, he wouldn't have time to turn. Ask your instructor to show you how to use bait to get the habit of a very quick sit and require it each time. You need to change a habit so it will take longer than if you had it from the start.
