Is this a puppy? it sounds like he is not used to being collared and on a leash. You may have start out a little slower. Give your dog a couple of days to get used to the collar and then put the leash on and take some treats with you. Go to the end of your leash and call your dog to you and offer a treat. Then start walking with a treat in one hand and periodically let your dog have the treat. Soon your dog won't even notice the leash anymore.

My pup used to do that too. Everytime she would do that I would do that I would stop and yank her collar saying NO BITE. Eventually she got the point. If you teach ur dog the LETS GO command when you start walking he will get the poing. Just put the leash on and get him excited about walking and say LETS GO. Hope this helps if he continues to sit....watch some Dog Whisperer: Cesar Millan on National Geographic!

while on collar and lead keep it sort and each time he bites it tap nose and say no in firm voice. then try having treats on you and hold one to nose while walking a few steps. if he follows stop say good dog pet and continue on farther until he forgets the other habits and enjoys walking. also while training on lead if he bulks or pulls there is a simple way to correct. wrap lead around hand , hold hand tight to stomach just start walking. with out giving commands turn quickly, walk fast,slow down,and turn completely around and walk with out hesitation. the dog will have to watch you to keep up or with you and won't get side tracked by other things. another way to control dog is to keeps tiny bites of hot dog in mouth while watching tv or moving around house. every so often spit piece out and the dog will follow you and pay attention. then move out doors and do this with 6foot lead so dog can move away from you. pretty soon you and your dog can walk with out leads because he has gotten use to watching your every move and does it naturally now without thinking.

Try leaving the leash on him while you are inside, that way he can get used to it. Also there is a spray called bitter apple that you can spray on leashes that make them taste nasty to dogs, so they won't chew on the leash. It does need to be applied often however!

He may be too young. Some puppies have a hard time walking at first. Take it slow and try it in the yard first.

Try putting the leash up to the top of the neck like a choker. Pull up on the leash, not forward, as you start to move forward. Try it. It works.

Put on the leash inside and let him wander with it

decisions....he should start understanding and going along with

He's probably just really young.
Just keep working with him till he understands.
