I'm GOING to work on this with Edna (and not keep half-assedly doing so). But I've also had a couple of people ask recently how to work on this, so here's a great video on this:
Something that's not mentioned in the video: at around 1:56, she talks about turning around and going the other way. When you do this, it's important to mark and reward the dog for coming into position at your side (right before they pass your legs). Then, when the leash becomes tight again, you switch directions AGAIN. So essentially you're going back and forth, or even in circles.

Going to try to update more
I've been slacking on both dog training and updating this blog. So, to make up for it, here are some pictures of Edna:
The random bedlington is Gracie, and I stayed at her house in Washington DC over spring break.
Next up: Edna was spayed, which was a pleasingly easy surgery/recovery, got a UTI, which involved me taking the staten island ferry in a hurricane at 10 o clock at night to pick up her antibiotics, but she's better now, and is otherwise doing well. I'm trying to work more on some tricks/behavior training with her, so I'll try to post some videos of that soon.
