Catcher 1 639 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Im no expert but this worked for me: 1. Put your dog on a rope slip lead 2. Sit the dog at your side and start to walk forwards 3. Each time he rushes ahead of you, make an 'about turn' and start walking in the opposite direction 4. Keep persistently turning 180 degrees every time the dog moves ahead, this may be extremely frequent to begin with Soon the dog will simply give up becasue they dont like this game and would prefer to keep going forwards than switching direction every couple of seconds. As soon as you see the dog is complying add the word 'heel' after the turn and as the dog draws along side you. I would also work on the recall in an environment which is he used to you with, were there are no distractions i.e. in the garden or house. Get the recall solid in this close envisonrment before gradually moving out into the open, especially were there are other animals. There is no need at this age to be too hard on your dog - you need to create a trusting bond between the two of you first. Hope this helps.
