Episode 16 - Heelwork, Part 1 - a podcast by Jo Laurens

In this episode, I discuss the difference between heelwork and loose-lead walking.  I conceptualise heelwork and what it is (a moving stay, with a beginning and an end - and duration in between).  And I discuss one huge consideration for training specifically retriever heelwork, when using positive reinforcement:  How do we prevent the dog staring up at us, and missing marks?
