Don't ever pull your dog on the the leash, the leash should be used for leading and discipline only. Short little pops on the leash is the motion you are looking for, just to jolk him out of his distraction.
start by just putting the leash on him he'll get used to the leash and might even start to like it. then walk him around the house for about a week then you can try walking him outside
when he starts to tug or pull away give him a little yank, and tell him no! or make a sound, remember when he does good give him a treat, or praise him, this will sticki in his head and remind him every time he does follow good that he is doing the right thing, also hes still a puppy, it takes a while for any dog to learn things
don;t be afraid to use a little of force, you are the alpha dog here not him
if your puppy is young then he won't like the leash that much. just put him next to you while he's on the leash. stand there with slack in the leash. also have a rolled up news paper. when he bites at it swat him. make sure that he doesn't know where the punishment came from. so hide the paper or magazine behind you quickly. then correct him. he should stop after a few times. the purpose is to make alot of noise with the paper not to hurt him if you make alot of noise he will think he's hurt without being hurt. if this doesn't work, just keep slack in the leash when he pulls or tugs pop the leash. not to hurt him but get his attention
