I do have one but I use it to train Bob, Lily, Macy and now Sonny on so I can't sell it I'm afraid.
I'm actually planning on making these for sale in the near future. I can't give a price at the moment but all I can say is that they will be properly engineered, light weight, portable, reliable units for continuous use. Similar machines are available from Germany for around 1100 euros but I'm planning on being able to make them for alot less than that. It will still be a fair amount of money and you can make a less sophisticated machine that does the job for less but they are far from ideal and I would run into trouble with warranty claims if I was to sell that type as they are very easy to break if you don't use them in the correct way. Both types of machine require a fair amount of labour to manufacture and that is a large part of the cost so I'm going to be making a more sophisticated machine.
I've been held up for various reasons and it's taking along time to get going but I'm hoping to be up and running very soon. I'll also be making a few other products...I'll give some more details nearer the time.
Sporting Dog Supplies (southern-staffords shop) do some good harnesses for very reasonable money, I'm not too sure about others because I don't do any pulling with Macy but I'm sure someone else will be able to give some advice there.

They will be 12v electrical and I may offer the option of a remote control version as well so you don't have to stand next to the machine. You can buy manual ones but they have their limitation and they tend to be a bit cumbersome and not that cheap either.

No problem Steve, I reckon they will be ready for around mid April if all goes to plan and they are tested succesfully, the last thing I want to do is release something I'm not 100% happy with so I shall make sure the are tested properly first.
