Default For Jerry : question about lead walking and sniffing!

Hi Jerry

Have been reading and following your manual and am getting some great
results :-)

I have a question concerning lead walking and sniffing that I hope you
could answer.

I'm training my 15 week pup to walk politely on the lead and I've been
following your advice about releasing the pressure the minute she
starts tugging. The problem is that when we try this, she always
starts sniffing the ground or tugs in front or behind me. I'm against
tugging or even holding tension in the lead so what's the best way to
get her to come back to the starting position so we can try again?

As I understand it, she shouldn't believe that her tugging has
allowed her to gain ground (hence returning to the spot where she
first tugged), but I'm having difficulty preventing her from sniffing
the ground and I DON'T wont to be pulling/lifting her up with the lead
and collar. I'm currently using the shaker can to distract her from
sniffing - I create the sounds from different directions and always in
such a way that she's distracted (never startled or frightened) - but
it seems that she's becoming 'selectively deaf' to the various sounds!

Any suggestions?

Thanks as always, James
