Our Aussie pulls constantly. We tried the gentle leader or whatever its called and it didn't work. We were walking her on a trail one day and a lady stopped to pet her and talk to us. She said she raised Border Collies and they were horrible about pulling too. She told us that the number one thing that worked for her is to bring the leash down the dog's back and then loop it around their belly. Then when they pull, it tightens on their belly, which they don't like.
We tried that with our Aussie and it was like magic. She doesn't pull at all and calmly walks along side us now. I also shorten the leash to keep her near me instead of ranging far ahead and that also seems to help a lot.
