My German Shepherd puppy won't walk on leash or come. What to do?

Question

Hey, I got a new german shepherd puppy, that turned 2 months today, it's been living with us for the past 4 days. I got a problem when I take it outside, the first couple days it was following me all the time, I used a leash once in a while and she acted normally. Today, when I got her out without a leash, she just wouldn't come and with leash it usually stops and doesn't go aswell, unless I pull her a little. I tried food, but she usually still doesn't come. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 2 months old

This will take time and patience and gentle, positive handling now will create good behavior for the rest of her life. Frequent leash training episodes reinforced with praise and treats will teach her that the leash is a positive thing. Walk her to her food bowl, toilet trips, to her bed etc. Patience now will pay off for the rest of her life. Add sit training and praise , use this to distract from any refusals to walk with you
