Congratulations! Keep up the good work. You can also introduce key phrases like "let's go!" as you step forward. I use that one for when my boys get distracted or want to sniff too much.

Put the leash on and immediately put your hand underneath your pup while holding the leash out of reach with your other hand. Then take your pup outside. Usually pups are less interested in chewing the leash once they get outside. Bring treats and lure your puppy to move forward, or as I suggested above, work with a partner, someone desirable to your pup. Have the person stand 10 -15 in front of you and call your pup to them. If all else fails, try spraying a little Bitter Apple on the leash.
