A while back when Remy was first learning to cart, I sent a video to his breeder (workingk9's). She suggested that I post it here, but someone else told me the video was boring, so I did not bother.
Remy's picture with his cart for the calender contest generated far more votes than I expected. Since there are that many folks who liked the idea of carting, I'd figured that I'd go ahead and post a video.
I tried to keep this video short so it wouldn't be too boring. There are all kinds of things you teach the dog besides just getting him conditioned to the noisy, scary, cart itself "chasing" him- tight right and left turns (sideways movement basically), waiting while the cart is loaded/unloaded, backing up, etc, etc. This video doesn't show much but it's just a short sample.
Plus of course you have all the usual dog stuff (getting them to ignore traffic, other dogs, etc). Lol, things like a steel cart getting rammed into your ankle while breaking up a dog scuffle are part of the package.
The snow makes carting a bit difficult, but he does OK in it as long as the snow isn't too deep.
