This is what I did with ZoE and it DOES look ridiculous....
You walk forward with the dog at your side, and as soon as the leash gets taut, you turn & walk back the way you came until the leash gets taut, and you turn once again & are now walking back in your original directions. You keep this up, over & over again. You cover the same pathway alot, and making progress on your walk takes forever....
The worst part for me is that where I practiced it was on our local walking trail, which just happens to go 3/4 of the way around the dog park, so numerous dog owners were staring & pointing at me like I was a CRAZY person, as I literally spent a half hour walking back & forth in front of them.....but it worked!
