You want to be careful not to lure her around following the stick. I think heel is harder for a small dog because they are farther from you than they are all the wonderful smells on the ground. I use my voice a lot to keep her attention on me. You have to be more exciting than all the good stuff on the ground.
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!
