My puppy ignores me and won't walk on a leash. How do I train him?

why does my puppy sometimes not respond to someone calling his name or urging him to play and sometimes he doesn't move when i pull on the leash just because he wants to sit in a particular place. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 20 days old

That is because he is a puppy. He needs to learn to be walked on a leash and also learn to come when called. You need to teach him. You can do that best by enticing him with a treat such as making him happy or praising him when he does what you want him to do. Give him time and teach him over time.
