Thanks Jessie,
Yes I do already reward at every opportunity the watch me thing... the problem is... that I would like to know if there is a correction as well, like a negative response for pulling and going crazy on the leash when he should be walking.
I agree with you that greeting on the leash is a necessity... but he is doing this with people, dogs, and cyclers... and granted it is a very new thing... but I of course would rather nip it in the bud as he is going to be a very big boy and already his size makes people look a little tense when he starts his play pounce dance. People do not like dogs rushing toward them.. and to be honest I know that when this happens it shows me that at that moment I am not in control nor do I have his attention.
I will keep working on it and tonight we are going back to class so I will bring it up with the trainer.
