Well that kinda defeats the purpose if he's already tired and not pulling then it's time to go home. What I want to do is tire him out without him pulling.

A puppy will only truly learn when he is tired. Teach things like telling the dog "easy" or "back" using your leg to move in front or stop and wait till they come back to you if they are way up ahead. Training is seperate from excercise.
