Why my dog pulls on the lead
Why my dog pulls on the lead
If your dog pulls on the lead, it’s not random behaviour.
It develops because the dog has learned that pulling works.
Dogs move towards what interests them.
If there is no clear guidance, they will:
- follow distractions
- increase pace
- ignore direction
Over time, pulling becomes the normal way of walking.
Many owners try to correct this physically.
For example:
- pulling back on the lead
- stopping inconsistently
- reacting too late
This does not create clarity.
Pulling is not about strength.
It is about understanding.
Your dog needs to learn:
- where to be
- how to move
- how to respond
This is where most people struggle.
Because they focus on stopping the behaviour instead of guiding it.
Inside DOG LICENCE™, this is explained step by step with real-life examples.
