Brilliant Jessand Steve, Rosa's looking really good. She looks really comfortable hooked up to the cart. Well done for getting her to pull on command, that can be really tricky.
Cherry loves getting involved doesn't she. It's great to see her helping out with the dogs, a brilliant little helper and all smiles.

Thank you Marco
She has been in a harness form a young age, and it been over the last 5 months we have been building it up.
We have just been getting her to sit and wait with the harness on and a drag weight attached....then call her with 'PULL' command, getting her to come to us and rewarding her with a treat and a fuss.
She has dragged a fair bit of weight,when she struggles slightly we change the command to 'WORK' and she knows to dig in.
Just repeating its over and over again!!
Now she is doing it with the cart, next step is building her up with some drag weight and increasing the weight on the cart.
She is so egar to please she will do anything for you, and i think kennel dogs always want to work harder -
All well and good having a dog strong, but we have been working on obedience and her mind first - Her Brain is conditioned now to know her job when the harness is on, with weight pull i think half the challenge is in the mind.
I have dogs here that could pull a house if thier minds were strong enough and not so stubbon!! lol
