He pulls through a halti harness (lead on front), halti headcollar and a normal harness and chokes himself in a collar. I don't think any gadget will work with him to be honest. I can't really teach him to heel for months on end as I am busy and I can't spend all my walks teaching him this. Is there any gadget that stops pulling 100%?

Hiya,
Sounds like you are doing all of the right things. I found that with mine, it took a while and lots of consistency and patience but then it just suddenly clicked (like what I did there?
).
Gadget wise, IMO there is nothing that will 100% solve pulling, consistency is the key really.
I know someone however, who swears by Mekuti Harnesses and others who like headcollars, another who likes non-pull harnesses.
Really depends.
It's hard with "busy" dogs likes cockers, springers, collies, shepherds etc too because they just want to get going!
