Here is a fun training idea for you. I call this “nibble heeling” where you are teaching a very young/green puppy how to focus on you while walking on the leash. Make it fun and you will both enjoy it. I rarely have to give leash corrections when starting my training this way. Over time your dog will focus for longer periods with less food needed. I use the same intermediate bridge + terminal bridge vocal support that I learned from a Kayce Cover workshop (Command followed by sound or word like “good good good” and then a big “YES!” With a reward given) and it works brilliantly with young pups.
