Dog pulling on lead and stress signals

[Pimpleminds]

My 2 year old collie x pulls on the lead. I deal with this by stopping every time the lead goes taut and then setting off again. This usually works after a while, not always. He doesn't pull for my husband.
I have realised that each time I stop he is exhibiting stress signals: yawning, panting, licking lips. He is obviously not enjoying it. But I really want him to stop the pulling. He's a big dog. I thought eventually he might stop but my method is clearly not working. Plus I am worried he might snap if it is stressing him out.
Where do I go from here?

Lucky dog to have an owner who is noticing his stress signals and looking for an alternative training method - Im dashing off out but a few links below may help

Karen Pryor method

silky leash

If these are no good there are other methods you dog may prefer

Thank you.

I will have a look.

I've switched to a Halti harness thing for our puppy who was pulling. It's a slight pita as you attach the lead in two places so need to use both hands to start with but it seems to have worked really well.
Especially with quite a few training treats for good walking for first walks.
I now still use the harness and attach lead in the two places but use just one hand unless he starts to pull.
Good luck.

i use an ezidog leash and harness now have an amazing behaved girl who never pulls she used to pull like a freight train and ... We've had her 2 weeks. amazon sells them about £19 harness and £13 lead
