Classes >> Weight Pulling
|
Who can do it?
All
healthy dogs, no matter what breed or size, can and DO
successfully
participate in weight pulling. You will learn the benefits
of resistance training, but we will primarily be working on the cart.
You will have the option of trying your dog on a drag sled, in order to
work on physically conditioning your dog, or for behavior modification
purposes. The focus of the class will be conditioning to the harness,
as well as working on pulling the cart, finding where your dog is
working, and encouraging them to enjoy pulling the cart as weights are
increased in fair increments.
We will provide all the equipment you will need for practice, including the harness.
Please bring:
- 4-6 foot leash
- A collar they cannot slip out of (no choke collars or head collars, please)
- HIGH
value treats, no biscuits or hard treats (examples to bring: hot
dog, beef heart, liver, string cheese, meatballs, etc) Please bring
A LOT. We would rather you leave with excess, then run out while
you're here.
- Again, we wil provide harnesses.
