Leash Pulling

OK Guys break out the advice for my little man Egan.
I am using a regular flat collar and flexi leash (which I know is part of the problem), but in the last month he has become a terrible puller, to the point of really hurting my arm.
Like I said I think part of our problem is the leash and will get a regular nylon one tomorrow.
I have tried the harness, no difference in pulling.
Has anyone used the martingale collars?

Or is there is something else you can suggest we try, I am all ears.

I have also tried standing with my back to him and not moving until he stops pulling and that hasnt seem to faze him.

I thought about the gentle leader I just dont want him to hurt himself.


He's always been such a good boy, but we have so much wildlife in our area, birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc... he runs out the door ready to try to chase something.

I even tried carrying treats with me to entice him to pay attention to me. Maybe I am just not giving it enough time ????
But I am going to have to have roator cuff repair if we dont change his behaviour.
