Recent analytical and numerical work on field-driven domain wall propagation in nanowires and thin films has shown that for large transverse anisotropy and sufficiently large applied fields the Walker profile becomes unstable before the breakdown field, giving way to a domain wall whose speed increases at a slower rate with the applied field. We perform an asymptotic expansion of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for large transverse magnetic anisotropy and show that the asymptotic dynamics reproduces this behavior. The appearance of a different regime in the asymptotic dynamics is due to a transition from a pushed to a pulled front of a reaction diffusion equation in which the speed of the domain wall increases with the square root of the applied field
