Exercise Finish - 1 step only

Remember that the Exercise Finish is set up with correct hand positions before you take a heeling step.

Here's the correct sequence:

1) Ready position,

2) Left, Right...(hand positions only here no foot movement yet and keep your knees soft not locked)

3) "Dogs name" BEFORE you step off as your left hand is positioned for a Sit correction..

4) As you step off..say "Heel",

5) Then say "Sit" as your left heel touches the ground.

6) As your right foot closes, you do a Sit Correction.. The Sit Correction is with your thumb upwards to the sky (thumbs up) and the Sit correction is done instantly. Collar should 'zing or pop' if you've done it correctly.

7) If your dog sits correctly, instead of a Sit correction, very soft stroke on dog's right side of face with quiet praise.

 Repeat a couple of hundred times...it gets easier.
