She does like to be in front on leash, which most of the time I don't mind as long as she doesn't put any tension on the leash. ... She .... doesn't always want to take treats from me especially outside where there's lots going on. Start with a hungry dog. Keep the sessions short and upbeat. Don't use the leash to keep your dog in position. Use the treat as a target; I use a very high-value treat. Here's a *very* detailed explanation: http://www.barkbytes.com/training/heel.htm And: http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=154006 http://leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/131469/page/2/fpart/2 http://www.leerburg.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/129047/page/3 18 months is not too old to teach obedience, BTW; no age is, IMO. I've adopted several seniors over the years, some with zero training. You'll really like that video #302.

I would keep the sessions short and act very excited about the whole thing. Ending with a shory play session. Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!
