Adele’s Heeling Class
Heeling is Adele’s fourth-level competition obedience class. In this class, the humans learn about footwork and handling. The dogs learn about pace changes (slow and fast), turns (about, left, and right), Figure 8s, and halts. We build on the exercises learned in Fundamentals, Maneuvers, and Come & Stay.
The exercises are introduced in class in the week listed.
If there isn’t a link, it means Adele hasn’t released a video on that topic.
