Precision Heeling for Obedience & Rally Competition (MC) (Members Only)

$120

with Melissa Cushman

Calendar May 7, 2026 at 4:30 pm, runs for 6 weeks

Precise pivots, fast fronts, tight turns and finding heel position from a distance. This class is all about the foundation skills to successfully achieve precision heeling. We will also go over marker words to help you communicate clearly to your dog when they are doing the right thing, something that is very important when we talk about precision.

Precision heeling is team work, and we want our dogs to love heeling so we will also learn some fun obedience games so your dog is enthusiastic about heeling.

Prerequisites: All dogs need to be able to work safely around other moving dogs.

Supplies needed:  Something to practice pivoting on and some type of platform. During the first class we will discuss platforms, including the proper size for your dog. You can make or purchase a platform but it will be an important part of the class. Dogs will also need a 10 foot leash.
