Weight Pull Training

Since Cooper, Eli, and Scooby all love weight pulling so much, we think Angie will love it too, and we already have a harness that will fit her. It will be really good for her to have a job, and another thing to keep her mind working. So we took her for a few walks with the harness on, to get her used to the feeling, but she was already used to the backpack, so she got used to the harness right away.


Bad photo, but Angie doesn't mind the harness at all.

The next step was to get her used to noise behind the harness, and some weight or resistance on the harness, so we took a drag weight on a walk with us, and she used it on and off, and had no problems at all, just chugged through.



Another not so great photo, but she really did enjoy the weight pull practice!

Then we would stop her, Maureen would go up ahead of her about 10 or 15 feet and call Angie, and Angie would go right to her with no resistance. Which was great!! She seems to enjoy it already!
