Great video! I like the explanation and comparison between the dog's personalities and why they would make a good carting dog. I also appreciated the leash handling demo in training them to pull. Very well done!

There is a cart that has a third wheel, taking the weight and stress off the dogs legs. Thanks for this video, just looking into this for now, but this is very helpful!

This cart comes with a third wheel. I had to remove it. The dogs bang their back legs on it. The dogs that love doing this run to fast and the wheel interferes. This cart empty has under 2 lbs of weight on the rails. When you sit in this cart you should strattle the cart then sit back. This avoids all downward weight on the dog. The guide rods are in an upward position when I'm in the cart to avoid all downward force.

The dog that would not pull is a lower drive dog. I mostly use the cart to build his confidence. It works great in behavior modifications. The points made of why the dog would not pull are accurate but we're not the case here. I made sure the cart was balanced with the third wheel and no pressure on the dog. the first dog was not into the work due to low drive and less confidence. The third wheel was taken off because the other dogs were moving so fast they were hitting the wheel with their back feet. This cart was used as a test carr before I purchased my RJ Walsh sulky. Marie you are correct I did have that wrong on the tandem. For giggle smile. The dogs that did this work loved it to a point that it became an obsession for them. when the harnesses were put on them they would go nuts to run. As far as playing fetch in a field. be careful with that. fetch puts a ton of pressure on your dogs hips and lower spine. When they get older they end up with myopathy in the lower spine and pinch nerves. Long-distance fetch and power fetch with the dogs power slide and stop is a great way to hurt your dog. It's strains their knees or tears the ligaments in the knee. I've seen dog fetching in the field grab the ball and tumble over. Some of those dogs bloated and past. So while ferch is the common game played with dogs it is really one of the worst games you can play with your dog. The appropriate way to play fetch is within five maybe 10 feet. Then throw The ball into all the grass so the dog has to use it nose to find it. That's slowes the dog down and allows them to use their brain and nose to work.

People commenting about a third wheel and not putting weight on the d dog don't understand how mass works. The riders mass is directly over the wheels so is born entirely by the wheels.

My dog loves it! I have a little wagon she pulls, I just need other tires for our ranch but she wags her tail and love love loves it! I don't ride in it. I have seen these carts in the video with a 3rd wheel so no weight is on their back. German Shepherds can pull 5x their body weight.

So much insider knowledge, thanks a lot! This is a very interesting sport, sadly not so popular and hard to get good information on it seems (especially locally).

very professional and thoughtful video! it has a right balance of pragmatism and knowledge, and i see a correct type of dog used; medium to medium-large but athletic dog, not lumbering giant dogs. good job!

When you're saying tandem you mean to say abreast. There are three wheel carts available, four/double axle, is ideal as they can't tip over backward if you lean back in the seat.

That means that a Czechoslovak wolfdog can't pull a cart untill they are more than 3 years old. They are not fully grown before that. They are very strong. My son's 6 Month old puppy is almost pulling me by now. He is 57 cm = 0.39 inches tall now and if he keeps growing till he is 3 he is going to be a monster of dog

Part of the reason the first dog was so lethargic could be this is a poorly balanced cart that was designed for goats. All the weight of the metal foot rest and shafts are pushing down on the dog's shoulders. If you are not riding in the cart, you need counterbalance. You might want to check out the new version of my book "Travel at the Speed of Dog" as I have new information about LIFT and how it affects the dog's posture and the desire to pull. Darlette

looks like fun!!

Can I get the plans, so my min-pin can tow #LuckyDBunny & Luna..maybe 12 inch wheels

can you train your dog to take you home if you're too dru....incapacitated to drive yourself?

Thank you for this great video, can you tell me how much the seat length is?

How can I make it a 2 dog team side by side

To pull a full grown up person need more than one otherwise it would be suffering to that dog in my opinion.

Where can we buy one of these? Would love to know 😊🙏

I am looking into k9 carting for my pit/lab mix. Where can I purchase a cart like the one in your video.

My dog is a puppy still but I'm interested in but I'm going to get one with 4 wheels better for the dog and me. I have a dogo look it up if you don't know.

why not put a third wheel on the cart to take the weight off the dog.

Did you make or buy the sulky??

Where does one acquire such a cart?

Where do you get the cart?

eso es para un pitbull

your 2 wheel cart gives too much weight on your dog. I think it would be better if there was a third wheel at the front.
