The focus heel is more than just walking next to your dog. It’s engagement, communication, timing, and trust all working together. In this video I break down the progression I use to build a focused heel step by step with Arya.

We cover:

• engagement before movement

• reward timing

• positioning

• lure mechanics

• maintaining focus through motion

• building clarity and consistency

A confident dog comes from understanding what success looks like. The clearer the communication, the stronger the relationship becomes.
