#167 Your Dog Heels Perfectly Until This Happens — Dog Heel Training Problems Explained
Wednesday, September 30, 2026 • Duration 14:35
Your dog can hold a perfect heel through training — then break it the second someone walks up to say hi. In this episode, I answer our graduates' most common leash and heel questions: greetings, creeping out front, when it's okay to sniff, correcting without guilt, and how long the remote collar actually stays on.
🔥What You'll Learn: ✅ Why heel breaks down specifically when people approach ✅ The real difference between creeping and breaking position ✅ When it's actually okay to let your dog sniff or mark ✅ Why hesitating to correct undoes graduate-level training ✅ How the remote collar weaning process actually works ✅ Where to find your dog's exact stage in your Turnover Sheet

✅ Try the leash-only method if collars aren't for you
✅ Fix the #1 leash mistake that triggers car chasing
✅ Find out how long it really takes to stop this behavior
Border Collies, Malinois, and Heelers are especially prone to this because a moving car reads as prey, not a distraction. Threshold training, a solid recall, and the right correction timing turn a car-obsessed dog into one you can trust near traffic.
