The Dog Whisperer (I just love that guy!) says that if you pull back on their leash they will always pull forward He says that you have to keep them on a short leash, so that they're right beisde you. If they start to pull or do any behavior that you're not happy with you give the leash a quick little jerk straight up and stop until they calm down. Also, you have to be in a calm frame of mind on not be anticipating the "bad" behavior but be anticipating the "good" behavior that you want. Don't get frustrated as the dogs can feel our energy and this is mostly what they react to.
Maybe you can try googling Dog Whisperer and leash pulling to see if you can get a better explanantion.
Hope this helps a little!!
