Dog sulky!! - Page 1

I totally disagree with the statements about 4 wheeled carts being better than 2 wheeled carts. The more wheels you have rolling over rough surfaces more drag you have. Also when it comes to doing instant turns is a snap with 2 wheels when your dog learns to side step, for example when i was a beginner carter i had some people call my malinois with me on the cart and she took off running and she just darted to the right when she reached them and i nearly kept going straight which would have been a face plant into the ground ,lol. Also when it comes to backing up it wont bind up like a 4 wheeled cart will. Last benefit to a well designed cart like my cart is i can pick up the shafts with one finger and wheel it around and when i sit on my cart it has a negative weight on the dog so it actually pulls up which is one of the most important things when it comes to dog carts. Now doesn't my malinois look like she is enjoying herself with her cart, not nervous or embarrassed.

I looked at your site and your dogs look awesome, I also do schutzhund with my malinois and keep her in shape by carting. Their is 2 dogs that i really would like to train on a cart, a Doberman and a Shepard. I trained a Doberman to be conferable on it and it took 5 minutes, OMG it was so easy but thats as far as i got since it wasn't my dob. Never got to train a Shepard though. Other dogs i trained is a few beaucerons, malinois, helped start a husky and wanting to train more dogs for the experience. The one thing i learned is to be in a neutral state, i don't say anything to the dog and don't give a negative or positive feedback towered the dog , no treats. I just put a leash around their belly to keep them from leaning into the shafts which could possibly causing damage to the shafts and a leash on coller for guidance, proffer 2 people for better control. Then when on the cart find a straight long road to just walk down, I did a couple miles on average and just keep going no matter how much the dog freaks out but don't quit until the dog is conferable with it. Also the dog needs to learn to side step on duel shafts so i start out wide turns or i walk into the dogs side to force them to side step until they are conferable doing it. Hopefully i can make a training video sometime soon to show what i talk about.
