Weight Pulling is an all breed competitive dog sport where the dog pulls a cart or sled loaded with weight a short distance across natural surfaces like dirt, grass, snow or carpet on concrete or a rail system. This is considered a low impact sport where the dogs work their way up to pulling higher and higher weights similar to weight lifting in humans. Due to its low impact nature, weight pull can be a great way for conditioning your dog both in strength and endurance. It can also be used as part of a rehab regiment and builds confidence in dogs with their handler. Any dog can participate in this sport, no matter what size!

In this class you will learn about the correct equipment to use and proper harness fit. You will learn about drag sledding and how you can work at home using this technique to condition your dog either for fun or to prepare to go on to competition.
