Kong Hand and Focus Heelwork
I had a great question about chomping in the Kong Hand game that we use in Heelwork training. I did short video on how to resolve it and overall where we progress. Video added to the classroom in Introduction folder. I have to admit that I go through the stages 'constant food delivery' to finally 'nose touch without the food' in the movement during heelwork training. I presented it in static as it is easier to show what is happening- but that was the first time we did it this way. Normally once my dog can walk on the step 2 this is where I progress with the kong hand. ***With most dogs we don't have to get to the stage of nose touch without the food!*** we just move to the step 3. I much prefer intensity for the hand as this gives me a lot of control over the movement. eg. if my dog wants to push on the kong hand and I walk faster and raise my hand bit higher thats the recipe for more animation in the heelwork- video below.

Do you need to later adjust for your shoulder position? When it faces forward does it make him forget a bit?
