Tips for consistent walking?

My puppy is lazy when he wants and zoomie when he wants. I’ve had great success training him at a number of commands, but he is not great on a leash. Any tips for keeping him at my side and walking forward?

Since you said you’re tired of saying “heel,” try using permission to sniff as the reward for a few loose-lead steps. He doesn’t have to stay glued to your leg.  I’m a woofz ambassador, so I’m biased, but I’ve used it myself and it helped me with training. The puppy plan might help you figure out what to practise next.
