How do I stop Diesel from taking two steps backwards to go into a sit? I've been doing brickwork to teach him heel position and rear end awareness etc, and I can now get him into heel position, and he can switch from one side to the other by spinning his back end around.
However this has shown up a problem with his sit, he will stand in heel position, then take two steps back to sit, which puts him behind me. I can call him forward, and then he will back up into sit again. If I bring him up really far forward infront of me, he will come back almost to the right position when he sits, but it takes alot of luring to get him forward enough, and it messes up the flow of the whole move.
Ultimately trying to get him from sitting at heel on one side, to doing a "switch" round with his back end to be sat at the other side. He can do the chain already, but the sits are too far back.
