Table of Contents THE COMMAND—HEEL The Sign—With his left hand the guideslaps his left leg. HEELING FREE is identical with the First Lessonsave that the exercise is performed without the leash. Atthe command HEEL the dog follows closely at the guide'sleft knee. The execution and correction of this lesson, being soclosely related, can be explained in one chapter. For thedog that has been correctly trained by instructions pre-viously given, HEELING FREE becomes an easy andquickly acquired lesson. All through the course of pre-ceding lessons I have claimed that dogs may have lackedconfidence in their guides. Now I turn the tables andblame the guide for those faults he fears; faults which inreality do not exist. This I will prove satisfactorily in theforthcoming explanation. |
