Is pulling on the leash something your dog does? It is not natural for our dogs to walk nicely by our side when we hook the leash on their collar. They often become great at pulling because they are getting rewarded for pulling on the leash. Your dog might be greeting that oncoming stranger, the other dog, or sniff the fire hydrant on a tight leash. All of those are very reinforcing to your dog. Sign up for a basic level class at Bessey's Positive Paws and learn the fundamentals to getting your dog to walk nicely by your side even in distracting situations!
