Some pups may respond better outside. I took Max out on the driveway and it took about 3 days before he would even take a step or two. Then we were off and walking a mile each morning. Be consistent and do it every day, ideally at about the same time each day. Use treats or a really good squeaky toy as a lure. Praise, praise, praise for any steps moving forward.

You can also try having a partner stand a short distance in front of you and make that person a desirable destination to urge your pup to walk forward (and forget about resisting). Make everything a positive and fun experience.
