Mastering Heelwork
Heelwork is one of the foundational skills every gundog needs. A dog that walks to heel without pulling or wandering off is not only a pleasure to work with but also safer in the field.
Training Tips:
- Start small: Practice short sessions in your garden or local park, using a lead to guide your dog. Gradually increase the duration and complexity.
- Reward consistency: Use treats or a favourite toy to reward your dog for staying close and maintaining focus.
- Take it to the field: Once they’re confident on the lead, practice off-lead heelwork in a secure area. Add distractions like other dogs or game scents to test their focus.
