Pivoting for hind leg awareness

Service Description

Rear Foot Awareness Pivoting is a core foundation skill that will help you achieve tight turns necessary for heeling and perch tricks (where a dog puts their paws onto a platform and then circles around it). Pivoting also teaches dogs rear foot awareness. In general, dogs are front wheel-drive, meaning that their rear feet will follow their front, unless they are taught to move their rear feet independently. Pivoting strengthens a dog’s understanding of their heel position, helping them realise proper placement for their rear legs. This enables them to stay closer to their handler while turning. This exercise can build your pet’s confidence and improve coordination and their ability to pay attention.
