Ive been watching various top trainers and working my dog aswell.. and in obedience my dog has very good footwork with her front legs working very nicely. i just wondered whether there was a technique used or does this just come natural to the dogs movement..

Successful obedience showing is the result of many hours of solid work with your dog. but there are a few things you can quickly fix that will help you get better scores. these include improving footwork; fixing handler errors; and decreasing your own nervousness in the ring..
