First of all, does your dog do well on the leash? If not you might wanna do some basic obedience first. If your dog does well on the leash then she should stay far enough away from you and slightly behind so that she won't get in your way. You don't want the leash to drag but you don't want it so short that it pulls on your dogs neck all the time. You should be able to "pop" the leash if need be. Be loose, relaxed and confident and your dog should do fine.
