Does it respond well to food/rewards?
I found a long stretch of path and spent a good week practising.
Rode along with food in hand on my left giving her the treats and installing the heal command. Now when we ride if I say heal she knows to run to my left and behind my pedal.
Took a while but she got there.
Is very handy when riding on road sections.
Also have a release command so she knows she can let rip.
She also knows the command ‘in’ to get off the trail/path. Handy when we are walking and a cyclist is passing or i’m catching her up and need her out of my way.
Like most things patience/rewards/praise.
