What do I do to help her in this situation?
I have tried treats with her, to get her to go on her own, but she ends up ignoring me and I end up picking her up and taking her outside myself, but she struggles with the leash on her.

My pup wasn't use to his leash until about 11/12 weeks old.. I started just putting it on him arounf the house and making him deal with it being on... after all the fuss he made he got used to it..

As far going to the bathroom outside.. I began by picking my puppy up and carrying him outdoors whenever we'd go.. I also would make him chase me around playing and he'd END UP chasing/playing with me all the way out the door... in the yard.. sort of tricking him into going outside.. and using the bathroom... and then I'd praise him
