This has been a project my team and I have been working on for quite some time, as you all know.

Our entire team invested a ton of time in order to present the concept of Competition Heeling in a way that is easy to understand, apply, and most importantly allows you to have fun with your dog.

Our focus in teaching this behavior is, not mainly in building the motor skills and proficiency in the behavior, but we place the highest emphasis in our interaction with our dogs.

The idea is not only to teach the dog how to do it, but also to allow the dog to express themselves and do it in their own special way.

Our ultimate goal is to allow the dog to add its own flavor into each behavior and show who they are as they perform.

I like to call this "Emotions Through Motion"
In this video you will learn:

• The next step in Competition Heeling after Part One.
• Why TWC trainers use play to teach heeling from the beginning.
• How maximize your dogs motivation in training and competition.
• The training tools that have allowed me to win 15 National and 2 World Championships.
• How to achieve results very quickly without the use of food lures or toy placement.

My team and I are so excited to present this video to you!
