Usage

Leading
Right-click any passive entity with a lead in hand to lead them. Villagers must be shift right-clicked to connect to a lead.

Anchoring
Right-click a block or surface to attach the anchor - this will create a small, temporary ring hitch on the ground. Anchors can be placed on the ground, on the side of blocks or underneath blocks. Right-click the ring to untether the mob, this will drop a lead.
