I think this is good advice and would take it one step further......try to catch the dog 'doing good' and reward this behavior with a treat. Some dogs are distracted enough by the reward that they focus on that instead of the problematic behavior, and with time and patience the behavior becomes less and less of an automatic response.
Best wishes!
