PeiPei Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Wow...Ms Squish we are going to have a few busy weekends a head of us. Its going to be so funny seeing Asia try to pull a sled Never know she might surprise us all and beat the huskies...lol I cant wait to see Missy have a go...It will sure put her strength and energy to good use. Must remember the squeeky toy Pitbulls are known for pulling x30 times their own weight and I have seen them weight pull cars...so at least I know she will be able to pull my weight...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any any other Adelaide people coming?? Edited April 30, 2010 by Miss Squish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 That sounds like heaps of fun. Would be interested to hear about what is involved, after you guys have gone along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Squish Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 We had such a great time & will definately be having another go soon! :D @ Asia as she couldnt work out why, for a change, I wasnt happy with her putting herself into heel position next to the scooter & why I wanted her to go out in front & pull With a few gentle bum taps which set her off into zoomie mode she was off! So proud of my 20kg girl, actually pulling my 68 kg weight+ the scooter, she would never be much competiton against the Huskies, Malamutes & Border collies etc but she did me proud! I havent seen the photos yet but If they dont look too bad I will post them soon. No one warned me how fit you have to be to keep the scooter moving if your dog stops abit to sniff along the track After both of our boredom with repetitive obedience training it was great to see Asia be free to be a dog, have no corrections & just run & have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
