"During 15 years of my dog sport career, I searched for an effective and fast heelwork training method without compromising on the quality of behavior. I learned from the best trainers in IGP and Obedience world and spent a fortune on online courses. However, most of them were difficult to follow, had gaps, or contained useless information. Now, I have gathered my experience and created my own unique, easy-to-follow step-by-step training plan called Heelwork for Dummies.
I believe it is the most comprehensive and easiest to follow focus heelwork breakdown... in the best price. I wish I had it 15 years ago when I was teaching focus heelwork to my first dog. -Alex."

"I am pretty obsessive about finding the best ways to do things so when I started training for IGP that's what I did. I learnt many different approaches to heelwork but found they didn't marry up to what I saw the world's best competitors doing.
Then I met Alex, immediately it was clear he had the answers. Not only does he know the secrets of the elite trainers but he knows how to teach them better than anyone.
He doesn't withhold information or ramble about broad topics without giving specifics. Alex has a system. One proven to work time and time again."

I used to dread the thought of learning focused heel. I didn't believe I could do it. I watched many videos and lots of different ways of training it and struggled. However, 4 sessions with Alex and myself and Jax were nailing it every single time. The steps we went through to get there were clear, easy and made it achievable for both of us very quickly. It's THE most satisfying achievement I've done in training
Carol with Jax
One day I saw focused heelwork on a video and I wanted to do it with my dog. I tried several techniques but it didn't work, then I tried Alex's way and it worked! It's amazing how quick we are making progress. With my first dog I did heelwork for fun, with my second dog we do for dog sport, it is very professional and the dog loves doing it. This is what we need in IGP

I’ve been trying to train focused heel work for a while, the hand follow methods I tried just weren’t working for us. Alex showed us his way and it’s clicked! We now have amazing foundations and progress.

Do we need another Heelwork course?
There are many out there!
-
I did influencer’s $$$ course but they weren’t complete enough for sport.
-
I did course made by IGP World Champions but they had a lot of gaps that I could fill only because of my experience.
-
I trained with heelwork specialists but their way was too detailed and too slow for my purposes. In IGP we need to do tracking, Protection and other obedience exercises. I needed to train faster and more effectively!
-
I see a lot of people being confused and struggling. I decided to create the course that will be simple but complete, effective
