6 Lesson One Heeling and Sitting Heeling Command 1) Say your dog s name and HEEL in a commanding voice. 2) Step forward with your left foot. (hint always start walking with the foot that is next to your dog) 3) Give a POP forward with the leash. (the noise your chocker chain makes when you pull it up quickly) When Heeling 1) PRAISE your dog often; make sure you have your dog s attention. 2) Walk briskly; your dog should trot with you, not lag behind. Heeling Corrections 1) Snap and release the choker collar. Always PRAISE your dog after each correction. 2) Always heel with a loose leash. When first beginning, hold your leash in both hands, keeping your left hand on your leash and ready to correct your dog. 3) Always stop on your right foot and bring your left foot up alongside. Your dog will learn to keep at eye on your left foot. Sit Command 1) Say the word SIT, push down on your dog s rump with your left hand and pull the leash tight with your right hand. (hint it is much easier to put your dog into the sitting position when he is moving rather than waiting for him to stop.) 2) Make sure that each time you stop walking that your dog sits squarely by your left side. Make sure your dog is sitting straight; correct your dog immediately if his sit is not straight. 3) Don t forget LOTS OF PRAISE! When Giving The Sit Command 1) Give one command don t repeat it. 2) Don t ever say the dog s name, and then the command. Just say the command. 3) Don t say Sit Down when all you want your dog to do is sit. Down is another command. 4) Work for fast sits. TIP OF THE WEEK LEASH CORRECTIONS When doing a leash correction in healing do not choke your dog. Make quick effective corrections letting the collar loosen between the corrections. When the collar is loose it is telling your dog he is doing a good job, but when you never loosen the collar your dog will never know if he is right or wrong. SO make sure you are heeling with a loose leash H Dog Project Book Page 6

7 Lesson Two Sit/Stays Start this exercise with the dog in the sit position on your left side. Don t use the dog s name. 1) Hold the leash in your left hand. Swing your right hand palm open in front of your dog s nose and say STAY. 2) Step away with your RIGHT foot and turn to face your dog. 3) Slowly start to circle your dog. If he moves, return to him immediately and tell him to STAY again. 4) Return to the heel position by walking around the dog from his left side to his right. Keep the leash from dragging across his face by holding it with your left hand. 5) Exercise finished. Remember to give your dog lots of PRAISE! After three or four days of practice, extend the length of time you make your dog stay. Move further back each time until you are at the end of your dog s leash. TIP OF THE WEEK CREATING A HAPPY AND BALANCED DOG There are three ingredients for creating a happy, balanced, dog... Exercise: walk your dog every day! This means that your dog is walking next to you not pulling ahead of you. Your dog shouldn t walk you! Discipline: give your dog rules, boundaries and limitations in a non abusive manner. Affection and Play: a reward we give to our dogs and to ourselves on a daily basis H Dog Project Book Page 7

8 Lesson Three Down & Down/Stay Down Command Start this exercise with your dog in the sit position on your left side. Don t use your dog s name. By using one of these three methods put your dog into a down position: 1) For small dogs kneel beside your dog and place your left hand on his left shoulder, gently push him down and say the command DOWN. 2) For medium to large dogs kneel beside your dog, reach your left arm over his shoulder and grasp his left leg; with your right hand grasp his right leg. Using your left elbow, push down on your dog to move him into a down position while you give him the command DOWN. 3) For large dogs place the leash under your left foot and put your left hand on the dog s shoulder. Step down on the leash and push down on your dog s shoulder at the same time. Place him in the down position and say the command Down. When your dog is in the down position praise him very softly. If you praise your dog too loudly he will move from his down position. So keep your voice very soft when you praise him. Down/Stay 1) After your dog is in the down position and relaxed, give him the STAY hand and voice signal. 2) Step off on your right foot and turn to face your dog. 3) Slowly start to circle your dog. If he moves return to him instantly, and return him to the down position. 4) Your dog must remain in the down position even after you return to him. After the instructor says that exercise is finished take two steps forward, place him in the sit position, and then give him lots of PRAISE! TIP OF THE WEEK: A very common error when leaving a dog on a stay or down is accidentally pulling the leash. Make sure that your leash is not tangled under or around your dog when you leave them H Dog Project Book Page 8

9 Lesson Four Finish and Footwork Finish Start this exercise with your dog in the sit position on your left side. Don t use your dog s name. Say the command STAY, step off on your right foot and turn to face your dog as if you were putting him into the sit/ stay position. 1) The command is: your dog s name and one of the following words FINISH, HEEL, or SWING. 2) Guide your dog around your right side as your right leg takes a huge step backward. 3) Switch the leash behind your back into your other hand and bring him up to your left leg. At the same time, your right leg comes back even with your left leg. 4) This method works with the commands FINISH and HEEL. 5) Another method for the commands HEEL and SWING: after you give the command, have your dog return to your left side without going behind you. Your dog should position himself by your side in the proper heeling position. 6) After the instructor says EXERCISE FINISHED, PRAISE your dog. Slow, Normal, and Fast Heeling Upon the order from the instructor, Slow heeling should quickly slow to a definite slow pace. When the command Fast is given, the handler and his dog must travel much faster. Never let your dog break into a run or you could quickly lose control of your dog. Your dog should always remain at your left side regardless of the speed you are walking. Footwork 1) The 2 1/2 step halt 2) About Turns 3) Corner Turns Obedience 1) Be patient! Keep your training lessons short so your dog doesn t get bored. 2) Praise your dog every time he correctly follows a command. Your praise can be a pat on the head or just good dog in a happy voice. Do not use your dog s name when praising. 3) Keep your commands short. Use the same word for your command every time. When you give commands that require your dog to move, use your dog s name before the command. When you give commands that require your dog to stay, don t use your dog s name before the command. 4) Speak in a firm, pleasant voice. Never hit or scream at your dog. 5) You need to repeat each exercise many times until your dog automatically responds to each command. End each training session doing something your dog loves to do...this is an excellent time to play with your dog!!! H Dog Project Book Page 9

10 Lesson Five Come Fore This is a transition from heeling to the recall and is designed to aid in straight recalls and straight sits. It is a practice exercise only and will not be performed in the ring. 1) Start with your dog in a normal heel position going at a normal pace. 2) Give the command your dog s name, COME, with the emphasis on the come. 3) Start running backward with your dog running towards you. 4) As you stop, the dog should be lined up straight, facing you so that you can give the command SIT. 5) Your dog should stop with his feet about three inches from your feet. Make sure your dog is sitting straight and looking up at you. 6) Next give the HEEL command. Your dog should go to your left side and sit straight. Always make sure you correct your dog if his sit is crooked. PROBLEM OF THE WEEK: CHASING CARS Car chasing is dangerous not only to your dog, but also to the driver and pedestrians. Obedience training can help cure a car chasing problem. Through training you will establish control over your dog. When you are present your dog can be prevented from chasing by calling him BEFORE he starts to chase. This will not stop your dog from chasing if he is left on his own. Dogs should never be allowed to run free and unsupervised, especially dogs with a history of chasing cars. Sooner or later they will be seriously injured or killed H Dog Project Book Page 10

11 Lesson Six Recall The recall is carried out in three stages. The first stage is designed to help prevent crooked recalls and sloppy sits. You learned this as the Come Fore. The second stage encouraged instant response from the dog and the final stage is to put it all together with a nice finish. To encourage instant response, you must make this exercise lots of fun! 1) Put your dog in a sit/stay. 2) Leave your dog, and walk to the end of the leash. 3) When the instructor says call your dog (make sure you say your dog s name and then give the command COME ). 4) Guide your dog to you by gathering up your lead until your dog is directly in front of you. Your dog should come an sit facing you. His feet should be about three inches from your feet. Make sure he is sitting straight if not correct him immediately. 5) When the instructor says finish your dog do the finish as you taught your dog in lesson 4. Your dog should go to your left side and sit straight. Always make sure you correct your dog if his sit is crooked. 6) Remember give lots of PRAISE! TIP OF THE WEEK LOOSE LEASH WALKING The quality of a connection between you and your dog is evident in how you simply walk together. With is a connection that is not easily defined but is very noticeable in it s absence. It is more of a choice to be together, not a matter of tying someone to you with a leash and collar. The quality of connection between you and your dog is fundamental. A good deal is revealed about your relationship with your dog in the simple act of walking together. Mutual attention dog to handler, handler to dog, should serve as the most important connection in all situations H Dog Project Book Page 11

12 Lesson 7 Stand for Examination In this exercise your dog is required to stand perfectly, despite all sorts of distractions, including having strangers run their hands over him. He may look around or wag his tail, but he is not allowed to move a single paw. He must not show any signs of fear or resentment. Don t ever let your dog think that he is standing still as punishment. Your dog must be praised after he stands so he knows that this exercise is not a punishment. 1) With the lead in your right hand, give your dog the command to STAND. 2) Step forward with your left foot bringing your dog into a standing position. 3) Take only a single step, pivoting so you are facing your dog. Quickly touch your dog s loin with your left hand to keep him from sitting. Hold him up for a minute. If he is in an awkward position move his feet so that he is in a comfortable position and standing squarely. 4) Give the command and hand signal to STAY. Let go of his loin and stand facing your dog. 5) When your dog understands the command to stand, gradually increase your distance from him and require him to stand as you circle behind him to the heel position. 6) After the instructor says Exercise Finished PRAISE YOUR DOG! TIP OF THE WEEK STANDING FOR EXAM When doing a stand for exam, after your dog is stacked, gently push down on his body from front to back like the judge will do. This reminds your dog that he needs to stand, and if your dog is uncomfortable, he will move his feet at this time. When you leave your dog make sure you do not tighten your leash at any time, as this will cause your dog to move with you H Dog Project Book Page 12
