Don't pull it at all, you should never have to pull the leash, unless you are using a training collar...

Yes, let him drag it around with him for a couple of days, make sure he doesn't chew it.
Then pick it up, and follow him with it. See if you can give him in a stay, pick up the end of the leash and call him towards you.

Got Food? Toys? That guy must have a motivational weakness. Trying running around like an absolute nut, yelling and stuff.... It should provoke movement.

Only you would come up with that one and have it work! LOL! I don't think I would have thought to try that. You are tooooooooo funny!

lol, hey, it's whatever works. Whether it's "Woah! I want to play too!" or "What the **** are you doing???", some reaction is better than no reaction. lol. Find the motivation, and anything is possible. Hee, hee...

Puppy Luv - I'm glad you found a way to get him to move.
