Pulling Harness

[karlthepianist]

i did a couple of searches and didn't come up with anything. if there is already a thread feel free to move me over there, mary. just wondering if anyone has any experience with a good pulling harness. our neice loves our dog and she'd really enjoy him pulling her around in her wagon or something similar. but i want to make sure i get a good harness for him. when i googled pulling harnesses, dog-harness-store.com kept coming up, but the site looks iffy to me. any experience with harnesses or places that sell them is welcome! thanks, karl

i use www.weightpullharness.com they are an excellent place to get harnesses i have 2 from Missy and they are excellent

I know the dogs love doing it, but the pics of them as they're pulling look awful!

I bet Cappy would love to do weight pulling...as long as there was a person or dog he could meet at the end of the pull!

Adoptapit, I feel the same way. I know they love to pull but those pictures make me cringe just a little because it looks so...I don't know, like the dogs aren't having any fun.

Although I'm pretty sure Chubby would pull a whole house if it saw a bouncing ball or Kong at the end of the finish line.

thanks maryellen. looks good.

and just so everyone knows, my dog weighs about 60 lbs and my neice and her wagon weigh maybe 45 pounds.

i promise i won't make him try to pull ME around in her wagon.

the missy v harnesses are really good, they dont ride up the dogs throat as the dogs are pulling, and are very well made

karl once you get your dog accustomed to pulling weights i am sure he could pull your neice and her wagon around..

Karl, I'm sure you know, but for the benefit of anyone else reading who might NOT know, be sure to gradually introduce your dog to pulling light weight, then increase that weigh. Then indroduce the wagon, then finally your neice IN the wagon.
