How can I stop my cat from getting aggressive when we end walks?

Question

I take Leo for a walk every alternate day. He loves his walks and would meow at the door to go for a walk. The problem is when it's time to go back home. He would growl and hiss and attack at me whenever I would pull his leash to go home. Finally I would pick him up cause he won't budge. He would meow loudly and would try to get away. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO MAKE THIS STRESS FREE. (I play with him plenty in the house so he isn't bored.). Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 4 months and 25 days old | 4.85 lbs

I would focus on getting him to follow you by using a treat that he really loves (hopefully he is food motivated) inside at first. A clicker can be very helpful for training cats - whenever he is making eye contact with you or following you first you click, then you give a treat. Eventually you can work on a ‘come’ or ‘heel’ or ‘follow me’ command and hopefully he’ll be more likely to come with you when you ask. This website has good info on clicker training. https://shop.clickertraining.com/collections/cat-training-books
