They make a device called a gentle leader or halti that incorporates their nose when walking, so every time they pull it, pulls their nose down to their chest so they loose the leverage. Some people have good success with a pinch color if used correctly though. A halter helos takenthr stress and pull off their neck and throat but gives them more strength and power to pull
