I do agree and so true that small dogs very hard to train Heel!!! I don't think she can hear my voice command in public(when it is large traffic of people on side walk)

and feel so bad for her so many feet all over her sight!!!
but little by little.. Truffles and I will practice and practice!
Thanks for advice!
