I would only go for short fun walks in my yard with PLENTY of treats or favorite toys so that the pup stays close. Leashes aren't even needed at this point yet (in MY opinion). If you are worried about the pup getting away, then you can attach a VERY thin light leash for the pup to drag around, but you don't need to hold the leash unless there is an emergency. | I do agree with Skip, we got Jett when she was 14 weeks old but its never to early to teach 'come' with a treat.
Have fun!
