Weight pull , the right way to start

We've been competing in weight pull events quite a while . but always looking to improve , our female is almost an ACE of ACE , and our male is heading towards ACE ,but we are getting a new female puppy this weekend , so the enthusiam is back , any suggestions on starting weight pull , age , techniques ect. We have always used meat treats (we call it biltong , i think you call it jerky)as reward when we start

 

I start introdicing a WP harness as a pup. walk around in it, add a little drag chain to get them used to something behind them. I don't start heavier weights till a year. I spend puppy months teaching my pup form and how to pull straight.

 

Hey SA what kind of Weight are your dogs pulling?

 

How much weight are they pulling

 

I think the training advice (and harnesses) on this site are excellent.

Joey , the female has pulled 7700 lb (3500kg)@ 23kg , 152 x body weight and she's 4 yrs. old . Madox is pulling a few hundred kg's more every show compared to her and still improving and his 18 months old , but weighing in at around 29 kg's (63.8lb i think)

 

H , the link's not working on my side

 

I would luv to get Disco into weight pull. And maybe even my big ole silly boerboel, too, lol. Any suggestions on how to get older dogs into it would be great.

 

and SA, maddox's ears are great!

 

The link that Leslie posted has good info on starting an adult dog

 

Get some treats, do what Vader's Mon says and you will br off to a great start. Even with an older dog. I'd love to wp train a Boerbeol. Good Luck!
