In this course, world-renowned dog trainer, Michael Ellis, will teach you exactly how he does just that.

This course was released in 2024. It replaced the course I produced in 2005. Everyone who purchased the 2005 course will have access to this 2024 update. The original course was 1 hr 20 Mn this new course is over 4 hours long. I have gone into much more detail not only on how to learn markers but also how to apply them in behavior creation. I have included a number of student videos, so the viewer will not only see a trained dog you will see dog/handlers making mistakes that we all make.
Not all dogs like to play tug. Some dogs have never had their play drive developed and some had it squelched by a handler with little experience. Michael addresses solutions to both of these issues. He explains how different sizes, textures, and types of tugs effect drive levels in dogs. He explains how to increase prey drive through proper tug selection and presentation.
The goal of this training is to teach dog trainers how to turn a reward into an event for their dog. When trainers can learn these skills they are going to be able to manipulate the motivation and drive of their dogs.
Michael's motivational system of training dogs is based on marker training. The foundation for the work in Focused Heeling is covered in our two earlier videos/courses that were done with Michael, The Power of Training Dogs with Food and The Power of Playing Tug with Your Dog. You will benefit from working through these courses before starting focused heeling training. If you are interested in learning how to teach your dog focused heeling whether for competition or as a useful everyday skill this course will give you the information you need to accomplish that goal.
