How old is she?  If she doesn't like any lead I take it she's VERY young and hasn't been on a lead before!

So start by putting the lead on the pup for a couple of seconds, and taking it off, after you have done this afew times you will have to start slowly increasing the time!  Then get pup used to moving on the lead, let her lead you at this point and follow where ever she chooses to investigate!  Take the lead off and praise again.

Do this little by little every now and again in VERY short periods of time and increaseing the lengh of time slowly!

Good luck, stay patient, and remeber the praise!

If she is young put either a cheap lead or a light rope onto her collar and let her trail it around the house for a while, she will soon forget when something takes her interest.

Has she always been like this or is it something new. If it has only just started I would take her to the vets, if she has always been like it I would put her lead on, in the house and slip a belt through the handle and make her walk round with you for half an hour at a time until she decided that if you want a lead on her then that is how it will be.

If she has always been like this and it is not for a medical reason you need to get her to associate the lead with good things.
I would start by just putting the lead on and treat and praise her then remove it,repeat,repeat etc.After this has been done for a few days step back and offer her the treat so that she has to walk towards you,then get her to with you and so on.Take your time and use lots of encouragement...she needs to learn the lead means fun and treats.
If she doesn't like either lead how do you walk her??
