Okay heeling as an obedience exercise - speed doesn't matter, your dog is supposed to stay in position right at your heel. Have you done variable walking speeds in class? Start out walking at your normal pace, Chip stays right at your heel, speed up - he speeds up to stay at your heel; slow down - he slows to stay right at your heel. His natural gait would be what you see when he's just moving at a normal pace across the backyard. When on the move, it is perfectly natural for the ears to fold back against the head - aerodynamics perhaps??? <LOL>
And no Michael, I wouldn't be surprised at the number of people who enter or would enter their dogs as the earliest age possible. I do come the dog fancy.
