I love how much Bella loves working with you, and her attention is so pretty. One reason for the lag is because you are looking down at her so much, and she is actually obeying your left shoulder as it pushes her back, She is such a good girl, I think if you keep your body more straight and look at her a little more in peripheral vision she won't lag and she will sit more straight. Very great work with her.

Great job Bella! Thanks for sharing the video!

After watching the video at least 10-15 times, taking all feedback in consideration, we just spent about 10 minutes heeling back and forth in the hallway, mixing in some pivots here and there. Two changes.....no treat in the left hand (palm against my waist) and head straight ahead, concentrating on left shoulder position. Maybe it's was just a good day, but it was much improved. Very little lagging and straighter sits. I'll work on these things for a few weeks, and video tape another session for comparison.

Edit: treats were carried in the mouth today, and handed to her on about 1/2 of the halts.

I loved watching your video! Many of your commands & hand signals are what I'm now learning with Renny, although we're still on leash. I'll be starting more off-leash training real soon.

Thanks for sharing your video. Bella is absolutely adorable. You can tell how much she enjoys working with you.

Great work, and what a good idea to take video of it. An instructor took video of Cookie and me heeling once, and I couldn't believe how slow we were going. The camera sure doesn't lie, and we can't learn if we never see our mistakes.

Already forgot about it! I guess I am getting old and senile! I apologize as well.
