Choke up on the leash a bit so she can't get too far away from you. Then do a bunch of figure eights, being oh so careful not to step on her. This will teach her to watch your feet for direction. You can also do reverses, when she starts to pull, turn around... that'll put her behind you and start walking in that direction (especially if you're getting dizzy with the figure 8's). As she learns to not pull, you can let out on the leash a bit... gradually.

If you have a neighbor that walks a dog, try to schedule a walk together. After they accept each other, she may walk better, especially if the neighbors dog walks well. Like an example... if she sees how dogs are supposed to walk, maybe she'll imitate it.

And lots of praise when she does anything right!
