First get a leash that hugs their chin and keeps their nose off the ground (or position your leash this way). When you let a dog put its nose down to smell that's when it starts to want to go forward.
Other than that your training has to be rigorous. You have to stop a dog from doing what it's doing wrong while it's in the act and make sure it's calm before you start again. Can take a very long time and it's annoying for both you and the dog but it's what you gotta do.
I'm sure you know yourself the dog is going wild on the leash because you're letting it, not necessarily because it's a bad dog.
Also use the foot tap on the side of it's butt whenever it even starts to think about going out of control on a walk. It's easy to tell when something grabs their attention, you have to break it right away.
(not saying it's easy, but it's not impossible).
I don't know your specific situation but I see so many people who get dragged around by their dog and after saying "no" "sit" "stay" a couple times they just give up and let it drag them around more.
Mine certainly doesn't drag me around, she just walls fast and doesn't realize I'm not keeping up with her lol. All I really need to do is let her know I have treats. Still chases after squirrels like crazy.
She's been a lot better since I got a harness that clips in front. It's like a lite version of the gentle leader where it turns her body away from where she wants to go if she tries to pull. So she literally cannot go where she wants to unless I go that way too.
Still though when you're trying to catch a Pokemon in pokemon go, any little bit of jarring will fuck you up. In any case I'm already a bit bored with the game.
