The thing with dogs is to scold them when they do wrong and tug on the choke chain (not yank) while training them. Immediately after show the dog some love. After a few times he'll recognize that that particular behavior is wrong and that you still love him. That way, he'll gladly stop doing the "bad" thing.
And, don't worry about tugging on the choke chain as the structure of a dogs neck is the strongest part of his body. I forget the name behind the procedure but that's how they've been training dogs in the movies for decades and how I trained my Rhodesian Ridgeback/Lab mix.
People would marvel as when I stopped walking, he'd sit, and wouldn't move until I asked him to with the proper command. I'd have strangers pull on his leash and he wouldn't budge.
All the best,
