K9, great tips! I'll have to try the living room/no leash technique over the weekend. Bijou is quite responsive and we had a great outdoor/leashed walk this morning, so perhaps some repetition inside the house w/o a leash will give her a clearer idea of what I'm trying to teach. She definitely wants to please us and I'm hoping if she can skip the pulling when walking on leash, we'll all enjoy our strolls more. Thanks again for the good advice, I'll let you know how it pans out!
