Teaching Focus Heeling: Part 1

This is a breakdown of how I taught focus heeling with Jolie. I hope this helps anyone who is curious how I taught Focus Heeling. Enjoy!

Professional dog training has came a long way! I have trained in Schutzhunde. Imprinting and now lure! The ability to add this to understanding the dog's psychology is certainly an advantage. The end result would be a happy 'working dog'. The Belgian Malinois is the only breed I would ever consider training again! Thanks for the video! I subscribed.

This is so helpful!! So much easier to comprehend with the visual.

jana rice glad it could help!!

[@karenluce5432]

Thank you. This is the first video Ive found where you break it down more. Id like to see more

[@stephaniedolan397]

I love how he grunts trying to get the lure 😂

[@michellejensen2373]

Thank you for making this video it has been so helpful, really well explained : )

[@donaldlee6699]

I have used lure by imprinting starting a dog in tracking.

Just wondering about where is the best place if there is for where the dog is meant to be looking in formal obedience tests -just up, in the eyes or the closed hand.It seems people have different opinions?/Thanks

[@anemona473]

Hi ! Great video ! I am about to buy a clicker but I want to know why do you prefer to make the sound with your tongue ???

[@warnerk9]

Maria Francesca hi Maria, I have a pretty distinct clicker sound by mouth and prefer not carrying a clicker if I can avoid it especially if I have a leash and food I have to deal with. One less thing to fumble with; but I do enjoy clickers especially when shaping new behaviors

[@MarsKvaratskhelia]

Most professional why is that more dumb and fake trainer is more subscribers they have and as better they get with each level less and less views and subs😂 strange This guy is the best I have seen so far and has almost no views 🤷‍♂️

[@manliketv3878]

Because the best dog trainers give 0 shits about youtube. Most mainstream dog trainers are egomaniacs who sell dressed up dreams to naive dog owners

[@Kat69nh]

What do you do with a little dog ? Pug mix.

[@DevinValles22]

How many sessions a day ?

[@abdulrahmansoliman1569]

9/10 times per day right?

[@NapoleonDynamite69]

Well, this is fine for obedience but what about bitework? You have a food motivated dog but with presumably almost no toy drive. Just use a toy instead.

[@warnerk9]

Bad Username thank you for the input. Yes I use a toy over food for obedience around bitework. Higher arousal requires higher motivation. This was just an introductory video I could send clients or club members on easy ways to begin...

wonder lead

[@adestramentogaoham7808]

I just saw you making the dog eat in your hand and he did not keep looking at you and I would like to see how to do it

[@warnerk9]

lobus adestramento absolutely! Here is my part 2 video giving you those exact answers! Always remember these are generic videos and not the only way to teach focus heeling but a general guideline of the way I enjoy teaching focus heeling and found success.
