Most puppies all train the same no matter the breed. Some will be more stubborn, though. There are some great websites on this... google Cesar Millan or the Dog Whisperer or leash training.
We started with taking ours out just in the front yard. Each of our dogs are different...one was scared of the big outdoors...the other one will trample anything and anyone to get out the front door. Eventually if you walk them every day they will do what you want them to. Just don't take them out too long on a hot day and be sure to rest them up when they need it.
