Heeling with Distractions

This session emphasizes timing, reward placement, and decision-making so heeling stays connected and intentional — even when distractions are present.

What You’ll Need

• A dog with a basic understanding of heeling
• A toy your dog finds motivating
• High-value rewards (food or secondary toy)
• A leash and collar appropriate for your dog
• A clear marker system
• A low-distraction area to start before progressing
