This is our third in the Michael Ellis series of training courses. We feel it's the best one yet. The training information in this video is revolutionary in the world of dog training.
Michael's motivational system of training dogs is based in marker training. The foundation for the work Focused Heeling is covered in the 9 1/2 hours of instruction featured in our two earlier DVDs that were done with Michael, The Power of Training Dogs with Food and The Power of Playing Tug with Your Dog.
The old "yank and crank" methods of training heeling have gone by the wayside. The fact is a good portion of the training in this DVD can be done without a leash and without corrections. In fact introducing corrections are the very last step in focused heeling.
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.
