Week 2, the 3 Turns and Days 1-4 of the Halt to AS (Auto Sit)

Nancy,

While you are no longer doing Days 1-4 of the Week 2 mechanics (because you are already on the Days 5/6 of the Kiss hand signal + Sit correction), this review with 'Fido' should help you with your Turn footwork, especially the Right Turn. 

*REMEMBER* - to do the Right Turn or do the Right About Turn - your left foot is planted at a 45 degree angle towards the right as you shift your weight from right to left foot - THEN you turn right.

The same is true for the Left Training Turn - your right foot is planted at a 45 degree angle towards the left as you shift your weight from left to right foot - THEN you turn left. 

SEE her right foot is planted facing LEFT, her weight is on her right foot and she has already 'snubbed' back the leash to prevent the dog from forging.

 

THE RESULT? The dog maintains correct heel position.
