So I dropped the technique.
Lately I've been carrying a leash but only using it when my patience is at an end at one of his prolonged stops or when safety requires it, such as when there are other dogs in the area. Norton generally keeps up pretty well, but he can get distracted by other people or children. He thinks everyone is his friend.
