Brio, my 4 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, doing ground training in order to ultimately pull me on a dog scooter and skijoring. August 2, 2009 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I am walking behind him, holding the bungeed skijoring line in my left hand and the video camera in my right hand. "On by" means "keep going, go past the distraction".
once he gets comfortable with pulling on the leash, you can attach a small car tire (with no rim, just the rubber part) to the harness and then let him pull that, while you are behind him. That is what we use at the dog sled company I worked for!! good job though, you'll have to learn how to cross country ski and he can pull you on them!!!! love your vids, check out mine at pbraunton, or rawk9feeding
