Hi prima,

What I've been doing with Oz that really seems to work,
is to hold a treat, like a hot dog, right by my left leg where
I want him to walk. I start out on my left foot, say Heel,
then as he's walking next to me, I give him some of the
treat and tell him Yes. 2 things I found... One, is that you have
to keep the treat low enough so that he won't be enticed
to jump. And two, make sure you give the treat as you're
walking. Don't stop and and then give him the treat, because
then he won't associate being rewarded for walking
beside you when you say heel. When I do finally come to
a stop, I say Sit, then he gets a treat for sitting.

I know there's lots of other training techniques out there,
but this way has really been working for me. And I had
problems with Oz not wanting to walk on the leash when
we first started, but he'll do just about anything for that
hot dog or cheese.

Par...
