How do I "check" my puppy in at the airport?

I am taking my puppy with me to Ohio. I have the correct kennal, the health, acclimation and rabies certificates, all the stuff he needs to fly. I am just wondering how it all works at the airport. Do I take him in on a leash and the kennal seperate? Does he go to the regular check-in counter? That sort of thing. I will be flying out of Sea-Tac so specific info would be great but I'll take any advice. He will be flying as "checked luggage" on delta flights with me.
