Assuming you are using a flat collar, when the dog pulls
stop walking and pull back just enough to quickly get a
slack lead to release the tension on the dogs neck, praise
him when the tension is gone.

Yes.

As long as he feels the
tension he is more likely to continue pulling, if you pull
on him and correct him he is more likely to keep pulling.

Yes. Except for the correcting part. Why would he be more
likely to continue pulling after a correction? This is an
honest question. Plus, do you know what a correction is in the
context of behaviour?

He is opposing your authority because of how you are
“bossing” him around, so to speak,

No.

he needs you to take the
lead and teach him to look to you but WITHOUT showing signs
of aggression on your part.

I agree with the general concept of the handler not showing
aggression.
