I would either stop in place and stand there until the leash went slack or walk in the opposite direction. Be sure you use a harness if you are going to walk a leash-pulling dog, especially if you are going to use the turning and walking in the opposite direction training method. But once the dog understands that his pulling won't get him moving forward as he wants, and this takes a while before it gets in there and stays in his head, he will begin to stop himself from pulling and walk normally. Oh, any dog will pull ahead at times and that's to be expected, but a quick stop or turn around snaps their mind back to the right way.
