Default Tallulah is doing much better!

Thank you everyone for your advice! After much practice I have gotten Tallulah to walk nicely on her leash. She doesn't pull anymore like she used to. And she only sniffs if we allow her too. She also does not bark at other people and dogs nearby!!!! I am so happy! I used to feel so embarrassed walking her because she was so out of control. But I have used a few training techniques that really worked, like not allowing her to walk in front of me at all. And not allowing her out the door until all of us get out first. Also when I notice her getting overly excited on our walk I will make her sit and wait until she has time to calm down, then when she's calm continue walking. She is responding really well, and she responded quickly too. It only took a few times before she started to understand what's okay and not okay. She also has not peed in the house in a few days. I have been trying to take her to her pads more frequently throughout the day and rewarding her for going potty. Since we prefer her to go outside too I have been rewarding her when she goes potty or poop on our walks as well. So far so good! Thanks again for everyone's help!
