Fairly simple as long as you start early. Now, you should start with putting a collar on him. Once he is used to wearing that all the time, attack the leash, but just let him walk around with it. Like the collar, once used to the leash, pick it up and walk around. Don't pull or drag him, instead encourage him to walk.
Keep practicing and don't lose your temper if he does something wrong, he could then be frightened of the leash and associate it with trouble.

Shouldn't be too hard. Get in touch with a trainer or local dog club or humane society if you need help.
We trained my dad's pup by putting the leash on him and taking a few steps then calling him to us. It got him used to feeling the leash on him without the added pressure of trying to get him to go very far. He spent a lot of time chewing on the leash. When he got too distracted by the chewing, we would let him chew for a while, then call him to us, usually with a really nice treat in hand.
Stock up on little treats when training. They are great for positive reinforcement.

Not bad takes a little patience some breeds tend to be smarter pick up things quicker. Some breeds are stubborn. Best way i have ever found is to put a leash on him and let him drag it around. He gets used to that pick up his leash and call him. Then Go ahead and start pulling a little and calling him and eventually just graduate up to walking. Its a step by step process.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMRk9
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Start out slowly. With my puppies I always start them with just pulling the leash around for the first couple of days. For ten minutes or so. Depending on their age. The sooner the better.

Its not that hard, just put him on it daily and let him drag the leash with him to get used to having it on him the pick it up and call him to you as you try to walk him. And it depends on how old he is to.

Won't be hard, especially if you start early and are consistent the whole time. Just ensure you get your puppy into good habits early and you will be ok.

You put the leash on him and go for a walk. If he doesn't like being dragged, his legs will start working. This works best if you start when he's small.

just keep walking the pup. a harness may help with pups it's all about constant repetitive actions. happy puppy days!
