Got a short training question. I'm doing Rally with Susie. One thing I'm having a little problem with is walking backwards with her. I am walking along the wall with her like the instructor suggested, I have been able to walk couple of steps backward, but she has a tendancy to sit down on me. Any suggestions? Want to get it down pact before Thursdays class.

This Works For Me Take The Treat And Move It Back And Forth In Front Of The Nose About A 6 To 8 Inch Arch.start From The Front First You Walking Into The Dog Making Them Move Back.then Move To The Heel Position With Treat In Hand Bend Over Move Backwards Moving Treat Back In Forth In Front Of Nose.make Sure That The Treat Is Low Toward The Ground So They Dont Have To Look Up And Tends To Make Them Sit.

Thanks Scott. I'll try that also.

Maybe everytime she starts to sit walk forward again. Or walk faster backwards. I don't really know i am just thinking outloud.
