WEIGHT PULLING &CARTING- WEIGHT PULLING &CARTING-WEIGHT PULLING &CARTING- |
Bajoron is proud of the dogs that we have produced and are pulling carts, pulling sleds and participating in weight pulling. we invite each participant to send in photos of their dogs in action. Below are two of our dogs who enjoy this sport. Sled pulling doesn't have to be on snow it can be with wheels on land. Weight pulling is a very taxing activity for a dog and the dog must be gradually excercised to build muscle for this sport or you can strain and injure a dog easily. Some pit bulls can pull as much as 2000 pounds! Carting is the most fun with a cart and the handler walking along side to steady and work as a team. There is a carting title that you can obtain through NAWBA. Rules and regulations for this controlled activity can be found on that web site. |

Chadiche sports a cart made by Bajoron and used on many of our outings when we use a cart for recreation and for training. |

Much like the Bajoron harness the harness used at the Purina games is padded and has is an x over to distribute weight on the dogs shoulders and back. Fleece diminishes the pulling of he harness on the coat and the dog.

This large device is called a sled. A dog has to be used to the harness before you can actually hook them up to the sled, cart, or weight pulling sled. You can ruin and spook a dog if you go too fast. However many of our dogs are introduced and are pulling in one day. A dog that is spooked will show this immediately and that dog needs lots of time to get used to the feel of the equipment and the weight of the cart and the sled. |

To get a dog used to pulling weight and so it doesn't chase them a tire or some other safe heavy object can be attached to the harness to get the dog accustomed to pulling and the weight being constant. |

Chadiche is so relaxed he rests his head in between commands. A good dog waits for the command to pull and will not spook or run away with the cart. Chadiche is a natural as is his son Luka in the other photos. |
A long day of fun is celebrated in this photo! |
