Is pulling "bad" for puppies?

I am talking about pulling when they are wearing a harness.(Not pulling "objects" but just pulling as hard as they can on the leash.) I don't mean "bad" as in "naughty", I mean as in is it "harmfull" to growing joints?

Luv that dog.....nice breeder I bet


Most of my training and dog experience is with hunting labs. I was always told to be careful of jumping and pulling until later on in their life. But on a leash it may be a little different. They arnt pulling on a stationary object, they are pulling on you, and you are probably moving with them. I hope someone more knowing will jump in, but all my dogs have pulled until they learned to heel, and I havnt had any problems.
