Yes it does I have used this technique with success.

I also use they pull you stop dead. You call your dog to you.. COME - Girls name

They come - you reward - You command sit they sit - You reward. Then use the command that you use for walking easy; and off you go again.

You can intersperse both these techniques during one walk. You will not get anywhere fast for the first couple of weeks - but the more you practise with your dog the better their behaviour will be. Start out short walk timings of 10 minutes or so. If you can do three of those a day that would be great. At least twice though.

If your dog is highly treat motivated you can use treat rewards and or toy rewards if they are motivated by toys. Both work for us.
