  • Breed & Energy Level: Some breeds, like Siberian Huskies and Pointers, naturally pull. Know your breed's traits!
  • Fear & Distractions: A bustling environment or unfamiliar sounds can make your dog anxious, leading to more pulling.
  • Health Concerns: Sometimes, discomfort or health issues can be the culprit behind your dog's pulling behavior.
