    If you have a wide long flat nylon leash you can try this. Attach the leash to the collar as normal, drap the leash over the dog's back, under the stomach, then around under itself so it makes one wrap around the dog that can tighten and loosen around the stomach as you move the leash. Dogs usually hate the feeling of the leash tightening around their stomach and so they may pull once and may even yipe but rarely have I ever used this method and had a dog pull hard a second time once they've felt it. Just keep in mind that a leash around the stomach and back can be just as potentially harmful as a choke collar is to the neck. Use your good judgement as to if it is stopping the dog from pulling and if the dog continues to pull hard don't use this method anymore.

    Edit to add: this is not a training method, its simply a control method. It won't train your dog not to pull but it will make it possible to walk your dog while it hasn't been trained yet.
