Yeah, find a better harness.

As for the 6-foot lead, don't expect too much right away. It's a whole different mindset for her than to wander as she pleases. Work 10-15 minutes a day until she can walk on a loose leash.

Here's a couple things to try:

To get her to stop pulling, don't allow it. When she hits the end of her leash and pulls, stop. Change directions frequently. You want her looking at you and trying to anticipate your direction changes. When she does it right, give her a treat immediately accompanied by a "yes!" If a treat doesn't work and she pulls, pull out a favorite toy. Loose leash earns a treat. Tight leash earns a direction change.

For more of a formal heel, hold a treat right in front of the position you want her in when walking on leash. When she falls into that position, give her the treat. Ideally, the treat will be dangled so it's between your eyes and hers. Eventually, you want her looking at your eyes and not for the treat. Some instructors use cheese whiz on a spoon so you don't have to bend over while you're walking.

Don't expect too much right away. For a while, walks won't be the walks as you remember them. They're gonna be training sessions. It can be frustrating and not a lot of fun for you to have to keep changing directions, but it's a necessary evil to get the pulling to stop.

Good luck! Once she learns it, walks will become pleasurable again -- and safer.
