I guess the dogs don't like doing sissy things either.....maybe that is why it is hard to train?
Keep in mind I don't train for points, this will be the first dog I have competed with at all, I train to keep my ass from getting whupped!!!! I got enough of that when I was young a foolish, now I am too old to take it any more ( I am not sure if I am less foolish or not).

Well Richard, as a picture it says a lot about trust. I don't have too many friends I would walk beside without looking where I am going. Matter of fact, I know a few people that would like to heel me into a busy street at rush hour, but that is a different story.
My dog is sissified... Plain and simple, and I like it that way. Do I walk him through town like that... heck no.

OK - this is the last post on this thread. There are three kinds of heeling:
1- Heeling when you are walking down the street looking at good looking women and the dog can do whatever the hell he wants as long as he is not pulling on the leash.
2- Focused heeling for sport work - which required brains, intelligence and expeirnce to train (which obviously not eveyone on this board has) To train focus requires a dog that trusts the handler, likes the handler and wants to work with the handler.
3- Heeling during protection work where the dogs job is to stay next to the handler and keep an eye out for a sudden attack.
Now - here in lies the rub - good trainers understand that there are three different kinds of heeling and they train them as three unrelated different exercises.
Those trainers that thing there is only one or two types of heeling still have something to learn about dog training.
This thread was started about competiton heeling - not about PERSONAL PROTECTION training.
