Does your dog pull like a train, zig-zag after every scent, or lunge with frustration the second you clip the lead on? You’re not alone. Pulling on the lead is one of the BIGGEST struggles dog owners face - and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode I’m sharing 7 reasons dogs pull on the lead - including some you’ve probably never been told before - and simple, practical things you can do about each one.

You’ll discover: 

➡️ The real reasons dogs pull on the lead (hint: it’s not because they’re ‘naughty’ or ‘just excited’).

➡️ How your dog’s puppy and teenage phases shape their leash manners for life.

➡️ Why anxiety, overstimulation, and frustration are often mistaken for excitement on walks.

➡️ The simple changes that make loose lead walking training actually work - even if you’ve tried before and “failed.”

➡️ One huge species clash between humans and dogs that explains constant pulling.
