So I know this is only a small thing but we have to celebrate the little things in life right?!
For two walks in a row now (last night and this morning) my boy has walked perfectly! Right beside me on his leash not a single pull and sitting immediately directly at my feet every single time I stopped for his entire 30 minute walk! So so proud, he is just 5 months old and in the last two weeks its like all his training is just comming together for him I am thrilled!
Just felt like I had to share my excitement - I am offically making progress in the battle of leash training hooray

Congrats on that milestone!

What a satisfying victory!! Congrats!

Share your secrets god , ahah
Mine jogs with me but heeling, NEVER!

I wish I had a magic secret lol but no such luck it is basically just time.

I am clicker training Orion and started leash training the week I brought him home. We started by just walking round the yard in the pattern - 1 step, 2 step "click" 3 step, stop & sit "click" so I was clicking for walking next to me and clicking for sitting when I stopped which marked both behaviors as desirable.
I gradually increased the steps between clicks until we could get round the yard, then down the drive, then down the street and so on.
Once he had the idea I added verbal commands to the behavior I wanted (heel & stop) then stopped clicking gradually to wean him off the idea "I will only do as I am told if you offer me treats" so would use a combinations of the commands and clicking when walking until finally we have had two walks with perfect behavior no clicks and no treats!
I have never clicker trained before so I have no idea if this is the correct way to leash train with a clicker or not but it has worked for me so I'm happy
