so of course i wanna get him into carting – keep him under control, give him a good workout, and, most importantly, keep my 4yo daughter under grips = she has developmental problems tied with a very high IQ so she’s got the attention span of a fruitfly and the impulsivity of a monkey in a fruit shop. shoulda named her “random brownian motion” instead of saari.

my big questiona bout your harness for carting: is it me or does it look like your dog is pulling the cart by the shafts? cause from everything i’ve read, that’s a no-no, isn’t it? the plans for carts i’ve seen have all had the same thing: two big eyes bolted or screwed into the frame to which the harness attaches and does all the pulling – the shafts are for braking and steering.

if you could clarify, that’d be great – sorry for hijacking your thread but i can’t find any other way to contact you directly: all links lead to the home page.
