Wait, Ellis has a video:
This is about little dogs but it's all the same concept.

Here is a combination of food , e collar and no rope. Its a 5 month 3 week pup. ever week is a giant leap in a puppies life... With this method you can teach the dog the position with absolutely no forging . As the dog gets older,, corrections will be involved and a higher level of force,,,because eventually the focus will be out in the field and not up at the trainer. You can't tell here that the dog is being forced but you may be able to tell when its used based on the dogs behavior and then see the change. Its pretty gentile but very effective on a young pup that doesn't have a whole lot of distractions

Nice video Pete. I have a 6 mo old Pitbull here I'm doing that same thing with. Just can't figure out how to ever explain it to someone.
Its tough to explain especially since I'm a bad explainer. This is way easier on my back and brain than yank and crank. :p Just makes life easier for me and I like easy:D

Pete, during the heeling I couldn't tell if you ever used the collar, did you?
I thought you may have used it on the very first, "Here," when she was off camera but that was it.
Thanks for the nice video.
