Go on a normal walk, just like you would any other day. Walk at a slow pace. If you run, or even jog, you are encouraging the dog to pull.
Whenever the dog starts to pull, immediately stop. Hold the leash firmly, but do not try and pull the dog back to you.
When your dog turns his head to look at you, give a hearty "GOOD DOGGIE!" then move forward and keep on walking. About every three or four times this happens, give the dog a treat. This is called yielding to the leash.
Do not try to take long walks with this method. Your dog will soon tire or get bored from this training.
WARNING: Be prepared to wait 5-10 minutes before your dog gives in and turns to look at you. I once had a 20 minute standoff before Dewey finally gave in!

How old does a dog have to be to go on a lead?
This is not age related. It is training related. They will walk with you on a leash when you train them to do so. No dog is born with immediate knowledge of what a leash is, it is your job to introduce the leash to your dog and tell them all about it.
How do I train my 9 month old puggle to stay in my yard or walk by me without a leash?
Do what electric dog fence companies do and set up a perimeter of flags, and multiple times a day go to different part of your yard (with your dog on a leash) and shake the flag and tell him "NO". It takes at least a month but its well worth it. Good luck :)
