Charlie actually heels very well off-leash in the backyard (I wouldn't try it in an unfenced area though). I don't know if all the off-leash training would have any impact on the leash walking training, but it was a thought.

It might, but it might also take a bit of time for him to get the transition from off leash in the back yard to on leash out of the yard. Still IMO, worth a try.
Have you taught him to heel? That might help too.
