Most houndsmen do little obedience training because hounds hunt independently. Pointers and retrievers work under our control, so their next step is heeling. Simply hold a treat above the little pup's nose and walk off. A few feet later, give the reward. You're just linking the word with an already near-you position.
Good form comes later .
When pups hold concentration for about 20 feet, I quit giving the treat while heeling. Instead, I stop and slowly bring the treat toward the pup's nose, then above it. As the nose comes up to follow the scent, I continue the motion over the head. The moment his butt touches the ground, Duke gets the treat along with praise generally reserved for straight-A report cards. You will hear that you should never use treats, and that a dog should obey you out of devotion.
