Training Rosy to Pull

Daphne Lewis harnesses Brett and Rosy, (chinooks) to a Chalo Sulky and drives them on a wooded trail near Seattle Washington. Rosy is not pulling well because she broke her leg (car accident) and has developed fear of noises behind her. Daphne is attempting to retrain her to the sulky.

Have you done that?

Check out sulkies built in Australia. Some are very reasonable and all are masterfully designed and built.

Rosy was three years old and Brett was 5 years old in the video. I re-watched it as I had forgotten what was in it. I am happy to say that Rosy pulls better now. Also the two dog attachment in the video is too long. The new model makes it easier for the two dogs to work together.

Hello Mr. ChickenDog, I sell sulkies and carts. My business is Chalo Sulky. You can go to my web site. Yours for working dogs, Daphne Lewis

Hey think of the loose dogs as a useful training distraction...

Hi Shelly, Mushers are adamant that you don't talk at/nag the dogs. You say the commands but are quiet the rest of the time. That way they pay attention. It is like saying Sit, sit, sit, sit etc instead of "Sit". But mostly I just felt that I was nagging Rosy too much because I was frustrated with her. Daphne

If you use something to hold Rosy's tail up she will be in a more confident state of mind while in them stressful situations. Maybe loop something round her tail then tie it to the sulky pole?

Ah, this looks like a lot of fun and a lot of hard work, too! My boy will pull a travois, drags logs and will even pull a little wagon. But I would love to take him out in a sulky. Unfortunately, I haven't the money to buy one and have it shipped to New Zealand. Any suggestions?

Great video. The dogs probably like to hear your voice! How old are they?
