Jule is a curious dog and likes foraging. When she goes too far into the undergrowth, I bring her back with the “On the path” command.

Move slowly

The idea behind this behavior is that the dog should slow down and stay near you without having to “Heel.”

You teach this behavior by saying the word “Slooow” deliberately, calmly, and drawing it out. Then slow the dog down by moving in front of him and using a corresponding hand signal. Most dogs understand very quickly what you want them to do. As soon as he slows down, confirm this with praise and, after he has walked a few steps at this slower speed, release him from the behavior by giving him a signal word, for example, “All done,” and take a step back so that the path is free for him.

I like to use this command when I reach a point in the path where I have no clear view and want to inspect it first before I allow the dog to move freely.
