Recall to Heel is essential for jumping and handling later because it creates the foundation for control, positioning, and safety in agility.

Recall to Heel is a critical foundation skill because it teaches both control and communication between handler and dog. Here’s why it matters, especially for agility and jump training.

• Establishes Handler Focus – Teaches the dog to orient to the handler and pay attention to movement and cues.
• Creates a Neutral Starting Point – Provides a consistent position to begin drills or sequences, reducing confusion.
• Supports Jump Mechanics – Helps the dog approach obstacles in balance, improving safety and efficiency.
• Builds Impulse Control – Encourages the dog to pause and reconnect with the handler instead of rushing ahead.
• Foundation for Advanced Handling – Prepares the dog for complex maneuvers like wraps and threadles by reinforcing proximity and cue interpretation.
