I'm pretty sure we mean the same thing, its just the word redirect reads to me like you're going to continue to play. This or nails or checking his ears, those types of things where you really want them to just accept it, I don't think redirect is right. Does that make sense?
It took 6 months before I could reliably attach a leash. The collar grabbing lesson was KEY. I could hardly touch my dog at all unless he was sleeping.
I remember worrying as I was driving to Canine Good Citizen Test (held at a farm venue)
"what if people see it's hard for me to get a leash on him? He'll fail for sure".

Yes. Saved by Connie Sutherlands hundreds of personal messages to me, a prescription "do this" "do this next". The whole Forum helped. Marker training.
Hard for me to adjust to a serious dog, especially a serious dog that weighed 25 lbs and looked like a sweetums. I was used to pets.

Not that I'm close to being able to offer advice from experience on the issue, but I did watch this video yesterday: http://leerburg.com/ellis.htm#inline-9
"Can you tell me why Michael likes to use a harness on a young dog and what kind does he prefer?"
I've put our 11-week old pup back in the harness and taken off the flat collar, it seems to be eliminating some of the tension around the leash - at least since yesterday afternoon. Maybe that would help?

Excellent post, Kristin. That should remove almost all of the tension and doesn't allow bad habits to form. Second the need for Kory to watch that video.

I'm a big fan of keeping the puppy leashed nearly all the time, even in the house, tethered to me. I've found it has many benefits, but one additional one might be just getting used to the leash. Being on a leash, tied to you just becomes his "normal."
Then, dozens of times a day, you can reach down and touch his collar, then treat. Fiddle with the leash hook, treat. Unhook the leash, then hook it back on, treat. Etc.
I do try to keep the leash on him as much as possible but he always wants to chew on it. Even when we're playing he'll stop playing and just chew on it. Not like it's annoying him. Just wants to chew on it.
