Good for you for trying different approaches. I would skip the tugging
method because that will likely just cause her to resist, which is not quite
the approach you want. Your goal is to make the leash something wonderful,
so it needs to be paired up with something she loves -- how about food?

I think you are basically doing all the right things to get your 4 mo old
puppy used to the leash, you just have to be persistant. Dont rush her. What

Try holding a treat slightly ahead of him, and above. The placement is
important, because if you have it too high, he will jump.
Idea is, that the treat will "lure" him into the straight sit. It is fine
if he jumps up a bit, just don't give it to him for jumping, make him sit
first, and then he
