Another idea: Try one of the leashes that reel out, that you can lock at any length.
I have a 15 foot leash (I think, or is it 12 feet?) like this. They cost about $15.00 in Walmart. There are also $35 models available with built-in flashlights.
My dog, Marlowe, also pulls a lot on the leash when we have to keep him on a short lead (like at festivals).
But, oddly, when he has 12 or 15 feet to roam on the end of, he doesn’t pull nearly as much. I think it gives him the chance to dash forward a few feet & stop & sniff while we catch up with him.
