Today we took heeling outside with Roo. He is doing very well with his figure 8/serp/spiral work inside. I thought we'd give left and right turns a go. Roo was definitely ready. He read my left turn cue beautifully from the first time. With a little verbal help he got the right in no time. Some liver biscotti didn't hurt either.
We will work on this for a while.
The last piece of heeling for me is really working fasts and slow. And lastly knit-picking on halts. Roo has been offering pretty good halts, but clearly doesn't have the concept down yet. We will continue to do our stationary work and remember to set him up for success (halting against a wall) when practicing them on the move.
