Common handler errors:
1. See Above.
2. Hand position - a) Both hands down and "swinging" or b) Right hand
down and "swinging" and the left hand held up at your waist. The
hand position can change for the fast, but must immediately return
to the previous position on the normal.
3. Changing hand position after starting.
Helpful hints
1. Forgetting that it's permissible to issue a second command (point

2. Ensure that you give the "Heel" command first before stepping out
to avoid leaving the dog sitting behind.
