Carting with your dog is fun...its good exercise for both you and your dog and it gives your dog a job. When you start carting you will notice...just watch...how your dog's attitude changes while carting and while in harness. Your dog knows something is quite different from the norm and seems to be thinking "whatever this is all about it must be important". I teach K9-Carting for the Pocatello Kennel Club and these pages are the on-line companion to that class. The class is six-weeks long and there is one webpage per week. Let's get started! Course Description
Carting - Instruction for beginner Draft Carting. Dogs should be in good physical condition, free of orthopedic problems and of
normal weight for its age. You will be introduced to different styles of harnesses, learn how to put on the harness, correctly
fit the harness, and how to help your dog get accustomed to the harness. There will be a discussion of different styles of carts,
the functional parts of a cart, as well how to construct your own Cart. Puppies under 18 months will only learn to accept and work
in harness. Dogs 18 months and older will learn how to pull a cart and maneuver through obstacles.
