Video shows wooden cart, cargo wagon, passenger wagon, tricycle, bicycle and sulkies being pulled by dogs. It is a collection of rigs designed and manufactured by Chalo Sulky.
I have a yellow lab and a Bernese mountain dog who naturally seem to want to walk side by Side and pull like draft animals so I almost thing they’d get a kick out of pulling a kart.
It looks like so much fun 😁 I have two energetic beaucerons I’m about to start training, never done dogs but worked with loads of cart horses so let’s see 😁
I’m many years late and I understand if I don’t get a response. I have a German Shepherd male puppy that’s 10 months and is predicted to be 80-100 pounds (vet) and he’s incredibly tall. I am a 15 yr old that weighs around 120. I am going to ask a few questions and feel free to get back to me if you have any time to spare. 1. When he’s older. Would he be able to pull me in a cart? 2. How old would you say they are ready to pull? 3. How do you train the dogs for directions? I do horses and know horse controls, but not dogs. Would it be okay to use the same command as horses or no?
1. Yes. He will love to do that. 2. Start training now. As long as he is having fun, he won't be damaged by this sport. At two years old, you can work on distance and speed. 3. Use the same commands as for horses or use the commands that mushers do. Go to www.chalosulky.com for training instructions. Your German shepherd is lucky that you will give him a job and a career.
@@TakenByStormEquestrian Depends on what you mean. For example the Rottweiler Club offers "Carting Tests". Mushers have scooter or rig races and sometimes they let a sulky join them.
@@DaphneLewis I’ve seen like 1-dog endurance races on YT and was wondering where those are hosted. I’ve seen shepherds, huskies, malamutes, etc competing
Where do you get the bar to go from the wagon to the dogs from? I often see metal wagons (yard cart whatever ya call it) for sale cheap because the handle broke. I would like to make something like this for my dog to pull things in.
+Jennifer's Miniatures I used to make them. Had a manufacturing set back. May be able to make them again. You might take your wagon to a welder and brain storm with him on how to do it.
Daphne Lewis Thanks. I brainstormed with someone who welds that told me to just get a bike trailer meant to tow around children and take the bar off that :D Watching on craigslist now for a cheap/used one.
I have a Mini Aussie that's 22 inches at the wither. He weighs 35 lbs. I read something about if a dog is over 30 Lbs it can pull. Im 11 and I'm very small and only weigh 68. Could my Mini Aussie pull me?
I think so. Especially on sidewalks and level areas. I knew a girl who trained her Aussie (not miniature) to pull her by a rope tied to her metal wagon. She had fun. Eventually, bought a sulky.
Darlin, you have a standard Australian Shepherd if your dog is 22" tall. =/ Minis only get 14" - 18" for males & 13" - 17" for females of the miniature variety. I own several standards that are currently between 17" and 19" as they are only 5 and 6 months old. Unless you mean you have a toy that is 12" tall and had just measured incorrectly. Now, the cart pulling would depend on how big your dog actually is and how old they are. My girls will be starting their training with a makeshift cart made from a milk crate and light weight tractor wheels AFTER they are used to dragging either light weight chain or their training shafts around the yard / house. The whole thing would probably only way a few lbs. but the point of it is conditioning the dog to actually pull a regular cart when the dog is 2 years and had their x-rays done for hips and elbows. Something I have to get done anyway in order to breed them when they are 3 - 5 years of age (when ever a good tested stud is found or joins my household). You never want to over work your dog, especially if they are under 2 years, or much older or showing signs of discomfort from things like arthritis or hip dysplasia.
the same way you make them come too you, how you make them walk at your heel or play fetch. By making it fun for them, that they get rewarded with either cuddles pats and attention or treats. You reward good behaviour and I stress do not punish them for doing wrong. I got my dog to walk religiously on the left hand side of the road off the leash. did not matter if I was there or if he got it into his head he wanted to go on an adventure. alone or not he walked on the left hand side and waited for cars to pass before crossing on his own. His reward was getting off the leash on good behaviour(it was enough for him) and his punishment was to be leashed (cause he disliked it) He quickly picked up that to remain unleashed he had to obey the rules I set otherwise he got leashed.
@@DaphneLewis I was wondering if there are any small and light saddles and brides that can fit a size or a XL dog like a mastiff I have a pony that's the size of that sorry for the bad example can you help me?
It depends on the design of the rig, the fitness of the dogs, the surface of the trail and whether level or hilly. However, many people who run dogs with sulkies and scooters say 3 times their weight.
I actually need some information for a story I'm writing... Can u please tell me what type of dog could pull a 155 cm tall an 40 kg girl? I would like to know the speed and the time the dog/dogs could handle without exhaustion. (that's actually my data, but will help with the story line since I'm planning a teenager and most teens are my size and weight)
The ease of pulling a person the size you write depends on the rig. The sulkies that I now sell at www.chalosulky.com are easy to pull at a steady 6 to 8 mph trot. A person your size is small. I think a 27 kg dog with nice long legs and long muzzle could trot (In cool temperatures) for multiple kilometers pulling a 40 kg girl. The dog needs time to train to do this and needs time to get fit enough to do this.
@@DaphneLewis Thank u very much, I was about to get crazy with the logistics of the story. This type of information is very hard to find as especific as I needed. Thank u very much! I'll get back when I find out the details.
Sarah Hávilla Melo Oliveira if you need some exact breeds here are some pups. Husky Malamute Seppalas GSD Rottie Any mix with one of these breeds in it.
It is very much dependent on you reinforcing the difference between leash, unleashed and hitched. If you behave the same and allow them to break or make the rules for the different tasks you might find your dog enjoys pulling you along no matter what, doesn't matter if it is trained or not to pull a wagon/cart.
you either use word commands you teach the dog prior to training them to cart, you can use a halter like the ones I make that are designed to fit the individual dog with the right measurements, or both. =3
I went to the website and you want 2k for one of these? That is a bit overpriced don't you think? Seriously not hard to put one together It shouldn't cost half of what you are asking. Everyone is just going to use your wonderful idea and not buy any of your carts........Go back to your website, lower your price, make a new video with a visible price in it and ad a tab/link to your website on it and make a million bucks. This is my best advice. I was considering purchasing one of these for a few hundred dollars until I went the website and saw that it was $2,000.
Saartje05 the dogs are being worked, she trains these dogs for a living and most of them aren't her dogs. She takes good care of them, but she obviously wants them to be strong dogs by doing massive workouts every once In a while
+Saartje05 No. No it isn't. The dogs are not stressed or in any pain whatsoever. Just because someone isn't coddling their dog every single second doesn't mean that they're abusing or hate them. Welcome to the real world. Work gets done.
What I see are happy dogs getting a workout. Did you know that some dogs were actually bred to pull carts? I know it’s hard to believe that dogs weren’t meant to sped 12 hours cooped in a kennel and given an occasional walk when the owner felt like it. I see that so often it is sickening. Ironically, many people don’t consider that abuse. At least these dogs have the “privilege” to be tired. Of course people need to be responsible and not push the dogs too hard for too long (especially in the heat), but it is very judgemental to call someone an animal abuser after seeing a few videos. Because of this, they will develop strong bones and muscles the same as if a person went to the gym. If you report that to the police for animal abuse, what do you think their response would be?

That looks like a great deal of fun I should build a cart for my Rottweilers
I rode a dog sled in Fairbanks, AK with 3 dogs pulling my daughter (at 3) and me. Absolutely amazing experience!
Cool. Dogs are strong and they love to pull. They like to have a job.
I have a yellow lab and a Bernese mountain dog who naturally seem to want to walk side by Side and pull like draft animals so I almost thing they’d get a kick out of pulling a kart.
My dogs like the cart, the wagon, the scooter. Your dogs would too.
Nice carting!!!!
It looks like so much fun 😁 I have two energetic beaucerons I’m about to start training, never done dogs but worked with loads of cart horses so let’s see 😁
It should be easy for you. Join the International Association of Dog Drivers on Facebook and share your training.
Thanks for posting this video. Can you give me any info on the double harness setup?
Looks like great fun :)
Miss Daphne thank you very much now I have great reason to raise big breed dogs👍😁
Raise AND TRAIN, right?

Watching on craigslist now for a cheap/used one.
+Jennifer's Miniatures The bar from the bike trailer goes to the axle of the wheel. I think you should go to a different welder.
I love your video where did you get your harnesses for your dog . I have the cart but no harness .
I sell my harness at www.chalosulky.com. It is designed to go with the dorsal shaft sulky. For a two shaft sulky, buy a different harness.
What type of harness do you use?
I sell the Chalo Sulky so I use harnesses made for Chalo Sulky.

How do you train them to pull on command? I’m sure I could figure it out but it never hurts to ask
To make it easy on yourself, got to "How to Train" on InternationalDogDrivers.com and on ChaloSulky.com. There are text, photos, video.
the same way you make them come too you, how you make them walk at your heel or play fetch. By making it fun for them, that they get rewarded with either cuddles pats and attention or treats. You reward good behaviour and I stress do not punish them for doing wrong.

i have a lab and a pit in back and a cocker spainel in front of mine
Besides cart & wagon what else will I need, can a get a set with minimal or no building
Don't know how to answer. Might join Dog Carting Beginners on Facebook.
0:50 Dog just fucking floors it
We're can I get one lol? I really appreciate your videos .
www.chalosulky.com sells sulkies.
@@DaphneLewis I was wondering if there are any small and light saddles and brides that can fit a size or a XL dog like a mastiff I have a pony that's the size of that sorry for the bad example can you help me?
My dog is a chihuahua-pomeranian, not so sure about that one.
What is a safe weight 2 sheps could pull
It depends on the design of the rig, the fitness of the dogs, the surface of the trail and whether level or hilly. However, many people who run dogs with sulkies and scooters say 3 times their weight.
@@DaphneLewis how do you make him go faster?
I have a ? What do u do if ur out far n dog gets pooofed out n cant pull u back
That has never happened to me. Most people know their dog's capabilities and plan the trip that way.

@@maelynn3160Thank u very much! I liked german sheepard and doberman, what do u think about them?
@@DaphneLewis I finally got in the part ot the story I talk about dog carting. Your information awsome, thank you.
where do ibuy
a wagon that my two labs can pull? need help with yard sticks.
email me at daphne@chalosulky.com
Where sis you bought those harnesses?
I sell sulkies at www.chalosulky.com. I also sell the sulky harnesses.
What about a 66 lb female Swiss Entleboucher Sennehund?
If she loves to run, yes. Perfect size.
My dog is a Minpin. Something tells me I'm a bit too heavy for him. xD
What about a little cart? Or roller blades?
+Bre Charest make a tiny wagon for him and let him carry your water in it on walks :)
She can also put her and his water bottle in a pack over his back.
Where can I buy a cart or wagon for 1 year old 75 lb dog
A cart from Custom Carts and a wagon from Wilczek Wagons.
Will this make my dog pull harder on the leash when we go for walks?
No. The dog is trained to pull when something is hitched to his harness. He is trained to respond to the collar, but not pull with it.
It is very much dependent on you reinforcing the difference between leash, unleashed and hitched. If you behave the same and allow them to break or make the rules for the different tasks you might find your dog enjoys pulling you along no matter what, doesn't matter if it is trained or not to pull a wagon/cart.
how do u stear them
you either use word commands you teach the dog prior to training them to cart, you can use a halter like the ones I make that are designed to fit the individual dog with the right measurements, or both. =3
feed dogs for more power rather than paying money for gas.
there are different people with different opnions.
my dog can jump 3 feet
so wrong for humans to ride in the cart (people being lazy)... however pulling goods etc is a way to earn their living
I think dogs like a job.
