duct tape? I'M JOKING!
how much leash does he have? obviously enough where he's able to get in front of you and zig-zag.. have you tried cutting down the amount of leash so he HAS to stay on one side of you?
can he follow a hand target? When I took pre-agility we learned to spin the dog. basically it's making an outward circle w/ your hand/arm (to the desired side) and having the dog follow your hand to that spot. It's used to get the dog to change sides, go from left to right and vice-versa. Lissa (who's replied to alot of your posts does agility w/ her dog. She can probably explain it better than me. (and she may have some better tips). you may want to PM her.
have you considered incorporating "matty-hurdles" into your daily run?
