Description

If you are wondering how to teach your dog how to pull, this video is for you. Price includes postage.

In her clinic, Cathy Corrigan DVM demonstrates how to tell if your dog is fit by using her Catahoula leopard dog, Dodo. Dr. Corrigan says that an unfit dog can still pull. Start him at five or maybe ten minute sessions. He can build his stamina over time.
Out in the park, Cathy and Dodo demonstrate the steps to take to teach your dog to pull a scooter. Dodo does ground training with bike tires. She pulls scooters with human helpers and dog helpers. She practices Line-out. To make this DVD we rushed Dodo’s training. Instead of pulling tires for several days and learning commands, Dodo went quickly to the next steps. In real life, training takes place in stages over several days or weeks.
In additon to the clips on training Dodo to pull, there are video clips of group scooter/bike rides.
Of course we had to address safety equipment and everyday training for control of the dog.
The sulky section includes driving on sidewalks and turf.
The final clips are of Mike Callahan skijoring over the snow pulled by his german short hair pointer. A bit of dog-pulling poetry to inspire you.
All of this information in a 19 minute DVD. Watch it twice or more. It goes quickly through the training steps. We recommend going slowly through each step!
