| My trainer had us step on the leash, with the leash in the space between the shoe's sole and heel, so it could move freely. Then when you pull up on the end of the leash, it would pull down on the dog's neck. Since the dog has been given the "stand" command, he knows he isn't supposed to lie down. I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it worked for my dogs. Actually though looking back on it, I think I used a verbal correction more than a leash correction.
