how many times have you done it with the 30 foot leash? i would say to keep doing reps of that over and over until he gets the routine. then gradually decrease the slack on the leash to 20 feet, 10 feet, 5 feet, then with you right next to him.
Is there a point in the dogs life when you CAN heel the dog away without stepping between the dog and the helper? Is this a training step or should it be like that in trial/high level trial/finished PPD/PSD type scenarios?Bob Scott said:How do you turn him away? Ideally you would heel off to the left, keeping yourself between the helper and your dog. If you turn to the right, it's just to much temptation cause the helper is RIGHT THERE now.
