Kowai Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hey guys! I saw recently that the Alaskan Malamute Club of Victoria will be holding Weight Pull competitions soon and I thought I'd really love to get my Staffordshire Bull Terrier into it! I'm planning on buying a harness from windchill.com.au but what I would like to ask everyone here is how should I go about training my dog? I have about a month or so until the competitions, is this enough time? What can I get him to pull to train? Also, can someone tell me what exactly happens at the competitions - what are the rules etc for Australia? I can't find any info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I looked into weightpull for my SBT a few years ago, it looked like heaps of fun, but unfortunately his conformation is too poor to safely participate. So I can't give you any informed advice, but just wanted to give you a link to I found to an article about weightpull training for bull breeds: http://www.apbt.info/tiki-index.php?page=B...ing+Weight+Pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpley Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I would be interested to know aswell. I think my SBT would also enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowai Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Well I just went and ordered Zach's weight pull harness online! I'm thinking of going to the next weight pull event at the Malamute club to see how its all done and to talk to some people Its hard not to get conflicting information on the net about particular rules! Zach is getting a red harness with his name on it - can't wait to see it! It's pretty exciting! I need to learn how to train him too.. I would -hate- to do anything wrong which could result in Zach getting injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
