I'm not sure if we approached the problem the right way - but it seems to have worked for us.
Thanks for the inspiring advice - I guess I will just keep trying. I am trying to to force him to keep moving on by pulling him even if it is only 3 houses at a time. Hopefully he will get the hang of it soon.
