Yeah, Sasha's not a toy girl, but she will work for food lol! I'll have to bring some snacks outside with us when we try it.

Haven't heel trained my current dog; however, previous dog was off leash most of the time but when traffic approached I would heel her (or at other appropriate times). When the coast was clear I just said OK! and off she went. Worked out great for both of us.
