Don`t chase after the puppy with the lead in your hand. Let your puppy come to you with the lead in one hand. Being chased, just tells them they will not like the lead. I would wait by the front door for the puppy to arrive. Of course you don't have all day so, have a treat in hand. In the puppy’s mind, whoever leaves the house first is leading the exploration, so you are the first to leave the threshold.

Hold the lead in on easy, relaxed way. Since you are the pack leader they will want to follow. If the puppy begins to pull, pull up lightly on the lead, then release the tension once the puppy gets back into line. But basically, keep the tension loose of so long as the puppy in line. If the puppy doesn’t get it right away, use bribery. String cheese is king! Maybe boiled chicken, a little messy. If the puppy starts to wonder or gets distracted, or seems not want to move forward, use the string cheese.

If a puppy gets excited when they see something, keep your focus and, most important, and continue walking. Ignore the distraction. Hopefully the puppy will learn to igore it too. A slight pull on the lead will communicate to they that you expect them to keep walking. You might have to turn the puppy's bock to the distraction and make eye contact with her. Wait until she relaxes; then continue.
