MODULE 6: Now What?
"I have to say that this series of courses was fantastic. My heeling with my dog had completely stagnated, but these exercises and techniques put us back on the right track, and my dog's focused heeling is now beautiful. Obviously they're a bit pricey, but well worth the money. I recommend the Heeler's Toolbox series to anyone needing a bit of refinement in their heeling work, or people just starting out at the beginning. The focus exercises that Forrest provides in the first course are also fantastic for any obedience work, and have worked well for myself, my clients, and friends I've shared them with. I look forward to continuing to use these techniques with new dogs I train, as these methods seem to work for any type of dog."
