When Adele brought home her Flat-Coated Retriever puppy "Sonic" in October of 2011, she started producing short videos of training sessions. The ones she has finished are organized by classes and by areas of training. You can also see all of the videos Adele has posted on her YouTube channel.
Adele's Heeling Class
Heeling is Adele's fourth level competition obedience class. In this class, the humans learn about footwork and handling. The dogs learn about pace changes (slow and fast), turns (about, left, and right), Figure 8s and halts. We build on the exercises learned in Fundamentals, Maneuvers, and Come & Stay.
The exercises are introduced in class in the week listed.
If there isn't a link, it means Adele hasn't released a video on that topic.
