I would also teach her to heal on the opposite side you carry your gun on if she's a gun dog. With a name like Chukar I assume she is. If you're right handed heel her on the left and viceeversee.
I used a leash with my dog and a choke collar. I had her heal to my left side, one thing I was told was what ever side you have the dog heal on you always take your first step with that foot. When the dog got behind me I would turn to the right and do a big circle and do sharp pops on the leash untill she caught up. Once she did I would start walking straight. If she got infront of me I would turn to the left and do a big circle and kick my leg out infront of the dog. It should be unplesant for the dog but not hurt her. It worked really well for me. She picked it up in about a week.
