Moose has started his weight pull training today. He will probably go to his first competition in March.

What these dogs will not do... Is there a category for "owner pulling when a squirrel is in sight"?

Yeah he was a bit confused but is starting to figure it out a bit. Just like anything else takes some training.

That is cool! Where do you do that? I have never heard of it for dogs before? How much weight do you start with & what is the goal, for weight

Beth, I'm glad to see you decided to join the sport of weight pull. Looks like my Blaze making history in the sport might have started a trend. There is a snow pull in the beginning of Feb I'll be at. You should bring Moose to that 1. I don't think it's very far from you. It's about 3 hrs from me. If any of you would like to know more about weight pulling your GSP please feel free to email me directly. I've been doing it for a few yrs now & have the only GSP to ever be in all stars or make it to a championship in weight pull. I can send you pictures too, but not real sure how to put them on here yet.

Thanks Rabecca. I am not able to make the one in Feb. but I will be in k-zoo in March. Hey question for you on pulling. Does the hanlder have to be behind the finish line when the dog is pulling or could I be right in front of him encouraging him but not touching him in any way? THanks!

Hey Rebecca- have you tried skijoring yet? That would be our sport/addiction.....

Hi Beth, You can be as close to your dog as you want, including laying on the track, but if ANYTHING touches it at all, you get a foul. On your 2nd foul you are out. When I say anything, I even mean the string on your shirt, your hair or anything at all. You can't be behind the cart, but anywhere in front. I hope this helps. Oh, the other thing is the Mid West Weight Pullers are the only ones who give out medallions at this time for getting a title on your dog. They are real nice & something you can cherish forever. I have 1 for Rose from when she got her UWP title, but Blaze got hers title at a different club & also got her CH at the other club so no medallion yet. If I time it right I'll be able to get the medallions for both her versatile & her excellent.
