Why Your Dog Pulls on the Leash (And How to Actually Fix It). Season 7 - Eps 53

If every walk feels more like a tug-of-war than a relaxing stroll, you’re not alone—and your dog isn’t just being “bad.” In this episode of the KISS Dog Training Podcast, Mike with KISS Dog Training in Shawnee, KS (serving the Kansas City Metro), Mike breaks down the real reasons dogs pull on the leash, from natural instincts to inconsistent training.

You’ll learn why common fixes often fail, how your timing and energy play a bigger role than you think, and what your dog is actually learning every time they drag you down the street. More importantly, we’ll walk you through practical, easy-to-apply strategies that build loose-leash walking step by step—without frustration.

Whether you’re dealing with a high-energy puppy or an adult dog who’s been pulling for years, this episode will help you make a plan to turn chaotic walks into calm, connected experiences.
