I love weight pull! I almost got into it but I backed out because everyone I'm close to said it was cruel and that isn't an image I really want. But when I have a big dog I will be doing it for sure.

I do agree with him about the 'having an outlet' It's a safe and legal way for them to show off their dog's smarts and strength instead of fighting.

Sue Sternberg had been promoting this sort of thing at least 10 years ago. This is the info on that program is here: http://www.suesternberg.com/03programs/04lugnuts.html

I thought it was a great idea when I heard about it then and I still do.

Yet another reason why I'm glad I'm not close to anyone, and that I wouldn't care what they thought even if I was LOL

Weight pull is a great sport... but it needs to be taught properly, and the dogs need to be a certain age first. I'm just worried about people who rush into it with their dogs unprepared... dogs are going to get hurt.

for the most part i think they are wasting their time. the thug turds use the dogs to show how tough the owner is. if the dogs don't fight then the owner is a wuss.
real dogmen (not many left anymore) want game dogs & dogs can only be game if they prove it in the box.
with both groups i see it as something to do in addition to not instead of fighting.

My boyfriend is interested in doing weight pull. He's thinking about teaching his dog, Zobby. I doubt Zobby will ever compete anywhere, but I know he'd enjoy it. He loves running, jumping and riding a skateboard.
