The simplest answer is to walk briskly and not stop, even if he tries to. This may not work with all dogs or all owners, but it is the quickest solution.

Teach your dog a "leave it" command. When he tries to stop to sniff, remind him to "leave it" (ignore it).

First of all i would say to make sure your dog can walk on a leash/lead nicely before you try anything else. This means to walk sensibly without pulling etc. If your dog has mastered that, then you are ready to move on. Start by getting some treats and walking the dog with its leash on. You need to have one treat in your hand on the left hand side where to dog is also walking. Hold it by your side and let the dog sniff it. Walk a little and then give your dog a treat and so on. After your dog has done that for about a week everyday you can take a step further. Take the lead off your dog and tell it to come to you and then give it a treat. Then get another treat out another holding it by your side tell your dog "close". This should hopefully (if you have taught the dog "close" work). You need to do this in a quite environment with no distraction's. Eventually after hard training at least once a week will work. Make sure that there is only one person talking to the dog at any one time, if not this could cause a dog to be confused and not listen to anything. You will defiantly need one thing when you are teaching this and it is patients. Good look if you need anymore advice just send me a message on my message board, thank you and good look!

Your puppy wont walk with a leash?

Yes you can. Most public parks and places simply don't allow it, but if your dog is not aggressive and very friendly you could teach it to walk without a leash. I don't recommend walking down streets without a leash as it could be hit by a car. First when teaching your dog leash train it first. Teach it heel, and all the other leash behavior, then when you walk with your dog without a leash say heel and give it a treat if she walks beside you for awhile. Add more and more length to your walk before you give her a treat then include obstacles, and other people and animals. If she succeeds in her training it should be a piece of cake walking her in a public place without a leash.

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.

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 :)
