I tried a couple of different methods, but this one work best for me. You teach the behavior first before applying any corrections. I think that's important. Also, incorporate leash pressure work, i.e., give to the gentle pressure on the leash = reward, repeat many times.

I'm sure you'll find one that works for you as well. 7 months old is a carefree time for Goldens, so patience will help!
