Thanks guys. Wow, interesting comments. I had only started doing the training for heel yesterday, and he got it for about a minute walking up and down past my house, so once we stretch to other areas, we'll see how he goes, but he listens and is concentrating. I'm using the clicker and when he's in heel, he does look up at me for the click and treat.
One question, should you never allow your dog to sniff or should it always be looking up at you at heel?
