I wish I could remember who it was that was giving the obedience seminar, but she took a puppy someone at the seminar had and demonstrated getting the puppy to walk on a leash using a yard stick with the cheese that squirts out of a can on the end of it. She held it down so the puppy could lick it, then, as the puppy started licking, she started walking slowly and praising the puppy. Keep walking slowly and intemittently raise the yard stick. Let the puppy take a step or two without the yard stick then more and more steps. Praise profusely (in a happy voice) while the puppy is walking.
I tried this with an IG puppy foster I had that couldn't walk on a leash and it worked amazingly well. She was walking on a leash in just a couple sessions. Of course she WAS a brilliant little thing.
