When she is quiet and attentive, give her a tasty treat (like freeze-dried salmon, freeze-dried beef or other pure-meat freeze-dried treats posted on my Web site).

When you are ready to walk her, give her a voice command like "Walkies, get leash!" and encourage her to find her leash that you can hide in various reachable places.
