    About this ebook

    Dawn Jecs was one of the Prison Pet Partnership creators, a founding member, and the executive director for eight years. She also selected and directed the training of the first official "Seizure Alert Dog" training program anywhere in the world. Dawn's program and program supporters were instrumental in lobbying successfully for the passage of Washington State's Dog Law giving disabled persons the right to have a service dog in public places. This program became the certifying agency for service dogs in Washington state.

    Dawn has designed this training program for competitive obedience emphasizing proofing from the start and off-leash novice exercises using positive reinforcement. Using step by step instructions and photos, it gives you the tools to build a solid foundation.

      Introduction

      Dawn Jecs has successfully developed a complete dog training program suitable for obedience competition (novice through utility) featuring reliably proofed exercises taught off-leash and using positive re-enforcement.

      The reverse theory of Choose to Heel© is a natural method of teaching, using your dog's own instinct for survival depending on his leader - you.

      He must stay close and be attentive to prosper.

      Proofing distractions begins immediately as he learns to make the right choice, leaving that ball or treat, based on the challenge of natural compulsion (and reward) without leash or pain.

      Heel position is a safe place and your dog will learn to find target (heel) position even when distracted. He will be challenged to fight through all distractions and arrive safely at a place where he is rewarded and
