Trotting
Once you have mastered walking together, you can begin to train your dog to trot. Begin by walking and gradually increase your speed to trotting. It is important to train him to keep pace with you, neither lunging ahead not falling behind. The judges will expect your dog to keep his head high, so use a sharp jerk upward to correct if he lets it droop. As you jerk the lead, say “Heads Up†in your happy, encouraging voice.
