Worked with Windy Of Seppala pulling drag 2 days in a row and added weight 2nd day to the point of he had to lean into the harness and work, a good tite tug, Although he did not get out front as well pulling more weight as compared to the first day with half the drag weight, he pulled the whole walk and no balking. Plan to do a few more of these walks and then hook him single with a lead in front and no dog behind... and try the cart with me on bike next to him and a cart pilot.
Grandsons were out on the weekend so I hooked 3 dogs to the cart and gave them a quick little ride (it was in the 50's so a short out and back) I noted a huge difference in the strength of the 3 compared to even four hooked at the start of our fall training.. we have not run long runs but these short runs with a fair load behind them is putting on muscle and it is noticeable. No Snow yet within a reasonable drive from here.....
