Heel Position | Puppy Training
Sal is working with Lucy on off-leash heel position, helping her learn how to stay connected to his movement with calm focus. When Lucy walks at his side without relying on a leash, her nervous system shifts from scanning the environment to paying attention to Sal’s pace, direction, and energy.
This teaches her brain how to follow guidance through awareness instead of impulse.
Heel position is important because it creates predictability for the dog. Staying aligned with the handler activates the parts of the brain responsible for organization and self-control, helping Lucy think before reacting.
