I was having a problem uploading a video. Lets try again.
This is a brief video of us off leash heeling in public. We're walking a track that wraps a soccer field while a game was in progress. This is a pretty challenging environment for my pup but he did great. You'll notice he has a tendency to crowd me a little bit but I prefer that to drifting. I apologize the video isn't great but I was by myself.
I heeled him directly through the crowd a few times and he was excellent. We saw one dog on a leash and my dog was certainly interested but he never broke the heel.
I noticed that when we're out practicing public off leash obedience people tend to look a little nervous and I totally understand that. I also noticed that the bandana softens his appearance and people smile a lot when they see it so he wears the bandana when we're out.
Next time I'll be sure to have a helper with me and I'll get a much better video from a distance.
