Many years ago when Tubby was a youngster, I would take him for walks around my neighborhood. One thing you have to remember is that it's not like walking a dog. Tubby was constantly stopping and sniffing things and getting side tracked. I would have to tug on his leash to remind him that we were w-a-l-k-i-n-g, not sniffing, then he would run ahead as far as he could and start sniffing again. So patience is the key word here. Since then, Tubby has "learned the ways of the rope." He knows when I tug that he has to come, and he does.
It's like anything else, the more you do it the more they will get used to it and learn what's expected of them.
Good luck with future walks, and pics are always appreciated!
