Why Dogs Pull
Pulling is completely natural for dogs.
Dogs walk faster than humans, experience the world through their noses, and often learn that pulling gets them where they want to go.
Our training program helps replace pulling with engagement, focus, and polite walking habits.
Common reasons dogs pull include:
✔ Excitement and anticipation
✔ Environmental distractions
✔ Lack of leash skills
✔ Reinforcement history (pulling has worked before)
✔ Frustration or over-arousal
✔ Desire to investigate scents, people, or dogs
