Title: How odd - just cracked heelwork!
Post by: Beth on December 28, 2008, 01:15:05 PM

Jarvis is a funny boy ::) :005: just walking home and ran a bit to get out of the way of a reversing car, and he thought it was great, lollopping beside me to heel perfectly when i ran, then when i stopped running, he slowed to a perfect heel position when i was walking, obviously waiting for me to run again. :005: :luv: he kept it up all the way home too. :shades: just a shame it's not something i'll be able to keep up ::) as i don't do running. ::)

Got to be worth trying though Beth, and maybe he'll continue to slow down when you do and eventually just walk by your side?  :shades:

 :005:  I don't do running either

But I always remember a trainer saying to me ' Always vary the speed you walk, sometime slow some times fast and even run too'
