weight pulling

[Tankstar]

I have a friend who will wants to learn to do weight pull with his pitXmastiff. No idea where to start. I have been looking for classes in my area (durham region). but have not really found any. Any one in the area know of any classes, or traniers who train for this?

Main problem is lack of venue. Due to lack of venue to compete in Ontario.. not many people do it. I know a lady who does, she specifically goes to MI to compete UKC. Renata (OCspirit) has her kids pull things like tires in the off sledding season to help them stay fit. She might be a good helpful starting point.

It was something I wanted to work on, but with lack of a venue, I haven't bothered.

Seems that just may be the case, as to why i can not find much.

He is going to start getting his dog to pull tires while they do their morning jogs every day (dog is about 2-3 years old, so old enough to do this stuff). I told him he cant just slap a huge tire on the dog and start, need to make sure the dog starts off slowly with pulling ect. Then I told him abiout weight pulling and he was really intrested. To bad.
