First step of leash training is to let the pup drag the leash around behind it. Making sure that the little one does not get tangled of course.
Then you pick up the leash and go along with them not pulling on the leash just following on behind.
Then the next step is to gentle like suggest that the pup go your way just a little then you go his back and forht until it is no big deal which way he or she goes.

Some of these little guys are not happy about someone else taking over where to go and when to go and how fast so take it slow and teach them that life on al eash is not so bad.

If they are stuck and will not come step out in front. Turn and face them and toss a party so that you are the best thing in the whole world and coming to you is wonderful then step beck and again then stop amd love on the dog. then do it all again until you build to a nice follow and then turn and walk along alittle and see if the pup will come.

Until now they could do there own thing as they like now they are to obey you so go so and ask.
