I think most of all you need to become the boss - get some kind of viciously authoritative growly voice going on and MEAN IT.. and let her have it if she so much as attempts to paw the thing off. The harness is okay but I dont' think it will work so much on her pulling - the leader is specifically for the purpose of bringing them under your submission, if that makes sense. There should ALWAYS be slack in the leash, she should not be pulling at ALL. You have to be the "alpha" - her "boss leader dog". My advice is to use the leader you have - if she pulls, yank it hard, give her that growly "no", and stop walking. Tell her to sit. Then start again when she complies. It will be a pain in the butt for a long while, requiring a lot of consistence and patience and determination with not much actual distance walking going on, but will pay off in the end once she's compliant. Kind of like raising kids!! LOL!!
