As the title says, both Ava and I need need some help with heel. I can get her to heel but she has a very annoying habit of walking into my legs as we go. She watches me the whole time and she'll start out real well but within a few steps she's got her legs tangled with mine. It's like she's so focused on me that she's not paying attention to where she's going. Sometimes she'll get her paws stepped on by doing this and I feel awful every time it happens but she never learns.
A trainer had suggested using my knee to gently 'bump' her when she gets too close but this doesn't work with her. I'll bump her and she bounces right back. :boldblue: I know these dogs are considered velcro dogs but geez I need my space when walking!
Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
