Doesn't look like the dog wants to do it if he has to be coaxed into it with food and encouragement. Not looking like his idea of a good time. You people are the real animals. That dog should be treated with more respect than that.
nice mate, these types are dogs are meant to do all this, this is there easy of having fun, you can no way call this as bad as dog fighting or being mean to your dog, nice dog, mum and dad are making me save up and get a job before i can buy one. they are my favrioute dogs.
This explains why my dog was able to drag me accross the oval while my hand was super tangled in the lead, she was chasing birds. But i do think this is slightly cruel but the again your dog seemed happy so my opinion is not clear.
Maybe it's semantics, but a Malamute is a type of Husky (I can think of about 12 different Husky "Breeds" off the top of my head, only one of which is the Sibe), but yeah, I like this video. These dogs are born to pull, & Malamutes are freighting dogs, so they're meant to pull some seriously heavy weight (I used to have a Quebec Husky freighter). I have an AK Husky, & her strength is amazing, & yet she's "Only" 50 lbs. in comparison. I love your AK Malamute Avalanche, & I wish y'all the best.
@GUMMYBEAYUH Sorry, but your nomenclature of the breeds is wrong. These aren't types of 'Huskies', Siberian Huskies are part of the group 'Arctic Breeds', as are Malamutes. There's no AKC recognized breeds as a 'Quebec Husky' or an 'Alaskan Husky', as those are 'mutt' breeds (for example, the the 'Alaskan Husky' has Siberian Husky as a root, but also has things like Greyhound in it).
An American breed, the Alaskan Malamute was named after the native Innuit tribe called Mahlemuts, who settled in Alaska. They have always been used as sled dogs for heavy freighting in the Arctic. The breed is cousin to the other Arctic breeds: the Samoyed, the Siberian Husky and the American Eskimo dog.
@GUMMYBEAYUH Malamutes are not a Husky breed.. both the Siberian Husky and Alaskan malamute are a member of the spitz family and are both Arctic breeds.
It cracks me up how often I see people say that Huskies and Malamutes are the same breed. Seriously, people. It takes 2 seconds to go to wiki and read about the difference. Also, Malamutes can pull up to 2k lbs EASY. It's not torture for them, it's what they were bred to do. Beautiful dog!
@Devils9Misstress im a husky owner, malamute is not a type of husky. malamutes are bigger and tend to be a bit more gentle thean huskies. go look up the two breeds on an actual dog breeding website and they will give you all the info.
@Devils9Misstress Actually, you're 14 and still don't know shit. SIBERIAN Husky and ALASKAN Malamute are two different types of dogs. So next time, why don't you try Googling before typing. Because you only make yourself look like an idiot for the whole world to see.
@regor5150 dont worry about the haters i have a malamute if people say this is animal abuse it's clearly not they can explain how in alaska they was pulling stuff for the eskimos ect..... and beautiful dog :)
@XxMalamutexX yep. What many people don't realize is BOTH breeds were bred to pull heavy loads and for extensive periods of time.
They seem to think this is animal abuse but it's not... they LOVE and CRAVE extensive exercise. In fact, it would be considered abuse to keep these beautiful powerhouses cooped up.
In many sled teams, the Malamutes are stronger and pull the weight of the cargo, which is why they are placed in the back of the pack whereas the Siberians are supposedly swifter.
@Devils9Misstress Malamutes and Huskys are different breeds. They may look the same but they are completely different. I would state all the facts about each of them right now but i just can't be bothered wasting my time on a keyboard warrior like your self..
@Devils9Misstress They are usually mistaken that they are the same family due to the color but are quite different in many ways including size, structure and personality. Malamutes are larger, very bone densed and stronger. They are both of the Spitz-type Sled dogs. but not the same type. In fact BOTH is a type of mixed breed wolves. Two different dogs breeded with wolves.
@ramthatdiver dont be so mean. He is not a husky, which malamute is not designed to race. They are a larger breed of alaskan dogs that were breed to carry large loads over long distances. Many Malamutes are family pets nowdays, but they are highly athletic and still capable of enjoying sledding, weight-pulling, back-packing, jogging and swimming. When heavy loads were need of pulling through the ice, it was the Malamute's job to do so.
@ramthatdiver dogs of this breed are bred to pull heavy weights... inless you can run with them for about 2-3 hours a day which most people dont have time for, hes doing a good job giving it the excersize a dog needs.. if he didnt you would be moaning how its unfair on the dog... Mine all wear rucksacks where they have small weights in too when we go running just to add resistance.
@ramthatdiver You are an idiot! this is what our breed is supposed to do. They LOVE to work hard. I have a 7 month and a 9 month old and all they do is pull. Stupid hippy!
@krownmks First, go back to school and learn English. Second, this isn't a Husky, its a Malamute. Third, there's nothing improper about what I did or how I did it. He's wearing a pulling harness, which is designed for one dog to pull a weight behind him. So next time you ask someone 'R _ u stupid,' make sure its not yourself you're talking about.
My apologies. That's actually quite creative of you to use this method. Do you use the traditional way of clicker too? Or do you only use the clicker to lure him to pull? Can you use commands or hand signals in pulling competitions?
@CrazyDragonCross Actually, when I took him to puppy training classes, they had me use a clicker. But he's so intelligent, after a short while, I didn't need the clicker whatsoever to get him to do what I want. He picks up on things very quickly. So I'm not 'cross-training' him by using the clicker this way, as I don't use it in any other way with him. Yes, you can use commands and hand signals, but he was just 'learning' the whole weight pulling thing at this point
@CrazyDragonCross That may be the 'traditional' way of using a clicker, yes. But there's no 'law' against me using it as bait. Pulling competitions don't allow 'live bait' so using meat or leather or other substances as bait to get the dog to pull, is illegal. So instead, during training, I hold meat in my hand along with the clicker, and entice him towards the clicking with the smell of the meat. That way, during competitions, he'll associate the two together.
I have a husky/malamute mix whose almost 8 months and I'm currently working on teaching him to pull. What a beautiful dog, and is a great example of their power. A bit extreme on the clicker though, you would think using the clicker that much would confuse the dog.
What a magnificent animal. He looks like the perfect example of this breed. Well done. And seriously, unless someone owns a breed like this, they have no experience or right to be negatively commenting.
@Charmed66Fan They aren't pushing at all. One person is there to move the steering wheel on the car to direct it, the others were there as a 'safety precaution' in case the car got rolling faster than the dog was moving, which never happened thankfully.
The dog is not even trying. My mal/shep cross played in weight pull competittions just for fun - no training and easly pulled 980 without batting an eye, Forgive me for saying but what are you doing with that clicker so constantly? Try patting the ground about a yard in front of him and call him "come" Beautiful dog. and Mals get fat easily because they use up every bit of grub they get. My mal eats 2 and 1/2 cups a day and is a little overweight .give carrots as snacks
sick display of this breeds strength... this is what they were bred for!!! they enjoy this kind of work it is rewarding to them.... one of the reasons they are considered "working dogs"
@meebees Actually, he's 5 years old now, and 145lbs lol - But he's overweight to be honest. I haven't pulled him in years, but he's gonna soon, that's for sure!
gorgeous malamute and its great to let them pull coz they love it but the clicker trainings all wrong, the dog needs to be taught that the clicker is a sign that a rewards coming, so it should be clicked once then a treat given instantly (quite often to get him used to it), but only when the dog is doing what you want, otherwise he thinks that your rewarding him for not doing it
SIR YOUR DOG IS A BEAST... KEEP UP TRAINING HIM AND TAKING CARE OF HIM LIKE YOU ALWAYS BEEN DOING AND (FORGET THOSE HATERZ) HATEING OFF OF YOUR DOG PULLING THE CAR..... YOU KNOW YOUR DOG BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE.... OOOO AND ARE ALL ALASKAN MALAMUTE TAILS LIKE THAT ARE WHAT???? BE BLESS AND YALL HAVE A GOOD DAY!!!
your malamute is absolutely gorgeous! i love these dogs - my boyfriend's family used to have two of them. when i'm able, i definitely want to adopt one for myself :) your boy is SO strong!
Malamutes are great and I want one badly. However, you did not do the clicker training correct AT ALL. And there were several times you stopped and kept saying PULL while furiously clicking the clicker....I bet that dog was confused as hell. Gorgeous dog though.
@berosoly You have absolutely NO IDEA what you're talking about, you ignorant fool. This dog is better taken care of than most people take care of their own children, or parents for that matter. He gets steak chopped up with his dry dog food kibble, he gets groomed 1x a month, and even has HEALTH INSURANCE! Malamutes are bred to pull, and he loves to do it! So do us all a favor and go troll someplace else.
@berosoly It's a Malamute. It was born for this kind of thing and much, much more. This was probably about as difficult for Avalanche as climbing a tall ladder would be for you or me. This is good for the dog. Way better than not exercising it and letting lay around, building up nervous energy. How can you claim to have such empathy for the animal if you know so little about it?
@berosoly I hope you get aids and have to live, the f@#% is wrong with you? The dog pulls stuff, whateves, not every animal can be as fat and lazy as you and stay on youtube and post bs comments. I realize it maybe considered hip to act like you care about animals, but the dog is obviously put in a good harness and is fine at the end of this video, he got a work out, something I know you don't like, especially not for yourself.
@berosoly This video makes me smile. People who don't give Malamutes jobs like these are being cruel to their dogs. They LOVE pulling large loads. Avalanche doesn't even seem phased by the car.
@MetalShewolf93 No sir, they were back there as a precaution, in case something happened, as we had never tried to have him pull something as large as a car before. My brother moved the steering wheel from time to time, but they were merely walking behind the car, not pushing.
I think this is pretty funny. and honestly the owner should know what their animal is capable of doing. so everyone else can shove it, ^_^ its adorable because he's like i can do it! Its a beautiful dog too. =)
@1Serval Kind of. There's no other way to pull than from the shoulders, but there is a difference in harness between weight pulling and racing (sled pulling). The weight pulling has a wooden dowel that goes across the straps in the back, behind the legs, which helps to distribute the weight evenly. Racing harnesses don't have this.
@regor5150 - thanks for taking the time to answer. That is a gorgeous dog. People here in AZ put them on sleds in the desert, when the ground is extremely hot. Don't personally like them doing it because when it's 115, the ground can be 130+. The huskies and malamutes only have short fur out here.
malamutes were bred to pull in a pack, not pulling single especially this massive weight. you're killing his hips, it might not crop up now but surely take its toll when he gets older. please be more responsible, this video breaks my heart.
@misorange Ok, so all these dogs in weight pulling competitions who pull >2000lbs, their owners are being irresponsible? Listen, relax. This happened once, and to be honest, he hasn't pulled any weight in like 2.5 years. So calm your broken heart down cupcake.
@liisac111 Wow, that is not TRADITIONAL use of the clicker. Try thinking outside the box once in a while. Just sayin. (If you bothered to read any of these posts in here, you'd understand why I did what I did)
if you try to relate to the dog, you'd think that the authority would be at the steering, behind the dog - as they've learnt from pulling sleds. Either behind or at the side like an authority. Not trying to tease the dog into pulling.
@mynameisUhrl Well, firstly, he was still in the beginning stages of learning to pull. And secondly, weight pulling and sled pulling are two different styles. There's no steering in weight pulling.
@THEIonDragon For your information, Av doesn't even NEED a clicker to do ANY normal 'tricks'. He's beyond well trained, and is one of the smartest dogs you'd ever meet. I don't have to walk him on a leash, and as a matter of fact, he walks BETTER when he's off the leash. He'll walk right at my side, as opposed to walking ahead and sniffing things. He'll do every command, sit, lay down, high five, bear hug, say his prayers, wave goodbye, peekaboo, wait, leave it, etc WITHOUT a clicker at all.
to mrdaza: i am a dog trainer and just so you know you initiate clicker training with treats but then slowly remove the use of treats so that the dogs reward is the click. this is to help so that dogs do not become treat dependent. what he did was absolutely correct.
Guy using the clicker you need to learn how to use it properly .
The way your supposed to use the clicker is when he does what you want him to you click and give him treats at the same time not just spam click it you fucking idiot ..... LEARN HOW TO USE THE CLICKER !!!!!!!
@MrDaza101 Listen here jackass, there's no MUST ONLY USE method for using a clicker. Sure, there's a 'traditional' method for using a clicker. I can use it ANY WAY I CHOOSE!!
You have a really beautiful dog! haha it's awesome!!! And people, there are multiple ways to use the clicker.... so shut up and leave the guy alone cuz there is such thing as turning the sound off (aka your damn hearin aids) if you find it annoying. -On the parts where you had to keep getting his attention to pull, try using another word maybe so he doesn't get bored with the same word of "pull." Try the traditional sled dog word of "hike" maybe it'll help him keep more focus(:
@woohootoodles Yeah, ok. Thanks. I know its annoying. You're like the 10000000th person to say so. If you'd bother to READ the posts in this, you'd understand why I used the clicker.
Crazy video! Looks like he wasn't even tired! Haha!
I have a question though, what harness did you use and where did you get it? I've been looking for some nice harnesses for my husky to start training her. Would love any info you can provide :)
HAHA, I have Samoyeds and I love Malamutes but I don't know if I would be a capable owner for a Malamute.
They are a gorgeous animal and they have a personality toward people that is every bit as good as a Samoyed, but I'm not certain I could handle a Mal properly for socialization. I worry about their tendency to go after smaller animals.
Their lifespan is too short too.
Maybe I'll join malamute rescue when my two dogs have passed away.
@RickDev15 Um, hey smartass, you're missing the whole point behind having the dog do it. Ever heard of a Malamute before? They were bred to pull weight. So, we had some weight, and he loves to pull, so we had him pull.
As far as i know that clicker training is mistaken... clicking is for when the dog does the right thing. He should click when the dog was pulling the car and combine the clicking with the treat.
@cmilla646 Yes, its a training clicker. I used it to associate a treat with the sound of the clicker so he'd want to pull towards the sound of the click, because in competition weight pulling, 'animal product' is not allowed to be used as bait for pulls.
Beautiful Mal. For those of you who want to get one, Don't. Although they are beautiful, they are very stubborn and independent. They can be very difficult for the average dog owner.
the dog wasnt technically pulling the car.... the dog started but u can see thorughout the footage the two men oushing and dircting the car... pushing is helping...
@Blondejc Listen, you can think whatever you want. But I guarantee you the people behind the car were NOT pushing in any way. They were back there "In Case of Emergency" i.e. if he started pulling to fast and the car went rolling and he didn't get out of the way. He WAS TECHNICALLY pulling the car. He's pulled 1500lbs before, and without the body panels an

gorgeous malamute and its great to let them pull coz they love it but the clicker trainings all wrong, the dog needs to be taught that the clicker is a sign that a rewards coming, so it should be clicked once then a treat given instantly (quite often to get him used to it), but only when the dog is doing what you want, otherwise he thinks that your rewarding him for not doing it

Malamutes are great and I want one badly. However, you did not do the clicker training correct AT ALL. And there were several times you stopped and kept saying PULL while furiously clicking the clicker....I bet that dog was confused as hell. Gorgeous dog though.

@berosoly You have absolutely NO IDEA what you're talking about, you ignorant fool. This dog is better taken care of than most people take care of their own children, or parents for that matter. He gets steak chopped up with his dry dog food kibble, he gets groomed 1x a month, and even has HEALTH INSURANCE! Malamutes are bred to pull, and he loves to do it! So do us all a favor and go troll someplace else.
regor5150 5 months ago
@berosoly It's a Malamute. It was born for this kind of thing and much, much more. This was probably about as difficult for Avalanche as climbing a tall ladder would be for you or me. This is good for the dog. Way better than not exercising it and letting lay around, building up nervous energy. How can you claim to have such empathy for the animal if you know so little about it?
jkeys251 5 months ago
@berosoly I hope you get aids and have to live, the f@#% is wrong with you? The dog pulls stuff, whateves, not every animal can be as fat and lazy as you and stay on youtube and post bs comments. I realize it maybe considered hip to act like you care about animals, but the dog is obviously put in a good harness and is fine at the end of this video, he got a work out, something I know you don't like, especially not for yourself.

@berosoly This video makes me smile. People who don't give Malamutes jobs like these are being cruel to their dogs. They LOVE pulling large loads. Avalanche doesn't even seem phased by the car.

@MetalShewolf93 No sir, they were back there as a precaution, in case something happened, as we had never tried to have him pull something as large as a car before. My brother moved the steering wheel from time to time, but they were merely walking behind the car, not pushing.

isn't there suppose to be a different type of harness for pulling to distribute the weight over the entire body, rather than shoulders & neck.
1Serval 7 months ago
@1Serval Kind of. There's no other way to pull than from the shoulders, but there is a difference in harness between weight pulling and racing (sled pulling). The weight pulling has a wooden dowel that goes across the straps in the back, behind the legs, which helps to distribute the weight evenly. Racing harnesses don't have this.
regor5150 7 months ago
@regor5150 - thanks for taking the time to answer. That is a gorgeous dog. People here in AZ put them on sleds in the desert, when the ground is extremely hot. Don't personally like them doing it because when it's 115, the ground can be 130+. The huskies and malamutes only have short fur out here.

malamutes were bred to pull in a pack, not pulling single especially this massive weight. you're killing his hips, it might not crop up now but surely take its toll when he gets older. please be more responsible, this video breaks my heart.
misorange 7 months ago
@misorange Ok, so all these dogs in weight pulling competitions who pull >2000lbs, their owners are being irresponsible? Listen, relax. This happened once, and to be honest, he hasn't pulled any weight in like 2.5 years. So calm your broken heart down cupcake.

if you try to relate to the dog, you'd think that the authority would be at the steering, behind the dog - as they've learnt from pulling sleds. Either behind or at the side like an authority. Not trying to tease the dog into pulling.
mynameisUhrl 9 months ago
@mynameisUhrl Well, firstly, he was still in the beginning stages of learning to pull. And secondly, weight pulling and sled pulling are two different styles. There's no steering in weight pulling.

Reebes100 10 months ago
@THEIonDragon For your information, Av doesn't even NEED a clicker to do ANY normal 'tricks'. He's beyond well trained, and is one of the smartest dogs you'd ever meet. I don't have to walk him on a leash, and as a matter of fact, he walks BETTER when he's off the leash. He'll walk right at my side, as opposed to walking ahead and sniffing things. He'll do every command, sit, lay down, high five, bear hug, say his prayers, wave goodbye, peekaboo, wait, leave it, etc WITHOUT a clicker at all.

to mrdaza: i am a dog trainer and just so you know you initiate clicker training with treats but then slowly remove the use of treats so that the dogs reward is the click. this is to help so that dogs do not become treat dependent. what he did was absolutely correct.

Guy using the clicker you need to learn how to use it properly .
The way your supposed to use the clicker is when he does what you want him to you click and give him treats at the same time not just spam click it you fucking idiot ..... LEARN HOW TO USE THE CLICKER !!!!!!!
MrDaza101 11 months ago
@MrDaza101 Listen here jackass, there's no MUST ONLY USE method for using a clicker. Sure, there's a 'traditional' method for using a clicker. I can use it ANY WAY I CHOOSE!!
regor5150 11 months ago
You have a really beautiful dog! haha it's awesome!!! And people, there are multiple ways to use the clicker.... so shut up and leave the guy alone cuz there is such thing as turning the sound off (aka your damn hearin aids) if you find it annoying. -On the parts where you had to keep getting his attention to pull, try using another word maybe so he doesn't get bored with the same word of "pull." Try the traditional sled dog word of "hike" maybe it'll help him keep more focus(:

HAHA, I have Samoyeds and I love Malamutes but I don't know if I would be a capable owner for a Malamute.
They are a gorgeous animal and they have a personality toward people that is every bit as good as a Samoyed, but I'm not certain I could handle a Mal properly for socialization. I worry about their tendency to go after smaller animals.
Their lifespan is too short too.
Maybe I'll join malamute rescue when my two dogs have passed away.

As far as i know that clicker training is mistaken... clicking is for when the dog does the right thing. He should click when the dog was pulling the car and combine the clicking with the treat.
lightenlynx 1 year ago
@lightenlynx GOD why won't anyone READ WHAT I'VE WRITTEN AS TO WHY I USE THE CLICKER AGAINST THE NORMAL METHOD?!?!?!?!
regor5150 1 year ago
@cmilla646 Yes, its a training clicker. I used it to associate a treat with the sound of the clicker so he'd want to pull towards the sound of the click, because in competition weight pulling, 'animal product' is not allowed to be used as bait for pulls.

@Blondejc Listen, you can think whatever you want. But I guarantee you the people behind the car were NOT pushing in any way. They were back there "In Case of Emergency" i.e. if he started pulling to fast and the car went rolling and he didn't get out of the way. He WAS TECHNICALLY pulling the car. He's pulled 1500lbs before, and without the body panels an
