Canine culture is starting a weight pull club in central New York!
If you have a strong dog, maybe one who even drags you down the street... you and your dog would have fun getting involved in weigh pull!
Any breed or mix, large or small, can have fun weight pulling. It is not only good exercise, and great for draining excess energy and physical rehabilitation, but is does not require a lot of time, space, or money to train or compete.
We plan on having regular, informal training sessions once a month, where you will learn more about safe equipment and training, introduce your dog to pulling, and how to have fun doing it. You will also learn proper stretching and conditioning techniques as well as how to effectively reinforce good pulling style in your dog.
We will also have fun pulls where any novice can try, as well as occasional sanctioned competition events where you can earn working titles, and earn points for regional and international rankings. The sanctioned organizations we will be holding will be with the International Weight Pull Association (IWPA). This organization allows all breeds and mixes to compete.
If you are interested in finding out more about training sessions, fun pulls near you, or sanctioned events...
We have a talented local seamstress who is making custom harnesses and other quality training equipment for your dog. We will be listing some of those products and choices in colors for harnesses soon.
