This cart does not come with 4 wheels. I have not tried any of the 4 wheel carts. They look comfortable and easy to maneuver. If you have a fast dog. I would use the sulky or a 4 wheel cart.

Really hoping to get into carting with my two Australian cattle dogs. How would you rate this cart? (I'm not too interested in speed. More how balanced it is, and if it keeps weight off the dog's back.)

The k9carting cart really caught my eye (and I love that it has a brake for added safety), but I can't find any reviews or comments about it.

Great video!

This cart is good for slow moving dogs. The breaks are not strong enough for fast moving or very strong dogs. I relied on my dogs training to stop and a long breaking distance. It is heavy at 75lbs. Dogs have a harder time tuning with the side rails. They have to learn to push. If the dogs are getting any speed, the front wheel will slow them down. The dorsal hitch on my RJ walsh sulky is way better. I liked this cart and recommend it for slow moving dogs if you have an idea of what your doing.

Hooking up 2 dogs can be ugly if the dogs are new to this. They tend to push each other. Work each dog for awhile. Then mix the 2. If you have the money. I highly recommend the RJ Walsh Sulky,

I have a Pit Bull, Chocolate Lab, Vizsel Mix.. I know a lot of breed and probley more :) Would he be a good dog for carting??

He already has pulled me in a sled and on a skateboard.. Would it be ok to make him a cart dog too? Thanks

where do you get a cart like this?

@usak9 and a four wheeled cart should take a bit of strain off of the dog

The chalo sulky is also a good riding cart. It is 2 wheels and it has a dorsal rod to attach the dog instead of the two pools which i find it much easier to get the dog used to. Also i find it bares less weight on the dogs back than this type not to say anything bad about this model. I got the Chalo sulky about 2 months ago and have been out riding several times a week and an loving it ...so does Mr Griffen ( my dog )

why not 4 wheels ???

I have one of these carts. The 3rd wheel kept spinning at about 8 mph. Easy solution. I had the 3rd wheel fork welded and reinforced. Now I can go about 10 - 11 mph which is a nice trot/gallop and no weight on the doggies.

Now I pretend we're running the Iditarod.

PS. When training your doggies remember to keep the training happy, happy and happy - it can be really frustrating but trust that your dog/s will get it.

The K9 folks also sell harnesses.

@usak9 Thanks so, so much for the fast reply and helpful information! Yeah, I'll definitely have to try them one at a time and build up to a cart!
