Course Details
This workshop is a follow up to Denise’s first workshop titled “Precision Heeling.”
In this intermediate level workshop, Denise will show you how to remove the pocket hand lure which was introduced in the first workshop and place your hand on your stomach in classic “AKC” position. Denise will also touch on the process of removing cookies from your body, adding a hand touch to the first step of movement and she will discuss the "drives/control" dichotomy - which one does your dog need and how might you accomplish that? If you watched the first workshop and are ready to progress, or if you took Denise’s Precision Heeling Class online and struggle to get rid of hand help, then this is the workshop for you!
At the end of this workshop you will have learned the skills for removing hand help for the dog, moving your hand to your stomach, moving the cookie out of your hand altogether and getting started with adding some energy to your work!

To be ready for this workshop, you should have a good grasp of the skills from the first workshop, Precision Heeling, and be ready to remove the pocket hand from at least some of the movements on a left pivot, right pivot, a step forwards, sideways or backwards. You do not need to be fluent on all of these, and working spots will be “met where they are at”- anywhere from mastering some aspects of heeling with pocket hand help to removing that help from one or more of the basic movements (pivots, lateral movement, forwards or backwards).
Working spots should have the prerequisite skills/workshop mentioned above, however, anyone is welcome to audit and will benefit. Link to purchase the prerecorded version of that workshop is available here:
