There are a couple of visualization cues I will use with regards to the drag foot. The first is I will tell them to think their foot is a brick and it's attached to their hip with a rope. They are dragging the brick behind them. It lets them know to relax the pushing leg after they launch off of the rubber. Another is I tell them to think they are jumping over a puddle and they are skimming their toe across the top of the puddle. I've had good success with this over the years. Especially when you break down the motion and work specifically on that part of it.
If you watch the Sports Science video of Jenny Finch you'll see she drags the whole side of her right foot.
