Hi Liza B.
First of all I'd love to see a picture of him as I have never heard of a border collie staff cross. I've had border collies and have now got a staff. Interesting combination. I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to help you get him to go walks other than maybe do tiny little walks, like out the front of the house for a couple of minutes and then back in. Slowly build it up.
With the pulling when he's on a lead I saw on the tv thei dog expert saying as owners we should turn around and walk the other way when the dog pulls. Because that stops the dog from pulling you to where he wants to go and eventually it should stop.
Good luck and remember lots and lots of cuddles.
