Starting off early will be beneficial to any kind of training. It keeps the dog from developing bad habits and makes it easier to train. To train on a leash, make sure you have a collar that fits. It the collar is too big, then the puppy may be able to back out of it and get away from you.

Anytime, the earlier the better because younger animals are more impressionable and learn easier and quicker. It's easier to train a younger dog than an older one, so start right away

As soon as it's weaned from it's mother (6-8 weeks) you can start training it for the collar/harness and leash

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.

When you put a leash on your dog and it doesn't move what should you do?

If your dog finds wearing a leash and/or collar aversive, you will need to train it to wear the leash. Luckily, this is no more difficult than your average dog training exercise. The following process is called counter-conditioning. Identify a reward for which your dog is very motivated: a tasty food treat (in small bites), or even a prized toy or quick game. The goal is to use the leash as a predictor of the reward, so that the dog will eventually be conditioned to respond to the leash in the same manner as the reward. Start small. Put the leash into the dog's view, and reward. Then remove the leash from view. Repeat. When the dog is being rewarded 95% of the time it sees the leash, slightly increase the difficulty. Move the leash closer, and reward if the dog does not shy. When that is successful, move the leash even closer until the only rewarded behavior is touching the leash to the dog. Tips: Do not make the trial more difficult until you are willing to bet $20 the dog will not shy or avoid the leash. Also: Removing the leash and not rewarding is a very important part of this training! It informs the dog that the leash and only the leash is the source of the treats. Continue this training until you can reliably pretend to put a leash on your dog and reward for good behavior. Then you are ready to try actually putting the leash on. Continue to reward for good behavior while the dog is on leash, and try to make leash time rewarding in itself (an exciting walk, or play-time). Once your dog has overcome its anxiety with the leash, very gradually phase out the number and frequency of treats to a more manageable level.

What does a police dog leash do?

Canine officers often use a special leash that can be adjusted to several uses. It can be a six foot tracking leash, a three foot agitation leash, or an over the shoulder hands-free leash. They are usually equipped with a special snap that allows them to release the dog even when the dog is already straining at the leash. Most leash snaps are impossible to release without first making the snap slack.
