However, since most dogs are not used to something following along behind them, training is necessary. It is vital to take a very slow approach. If you rush the process of your dog getting used to pulling a dog cart, you may regret it when you get into a situation with lots of dogs and people, or worse yet, traffic. Havoc and injury may end the fun, perhaps forever. The folks at Rosewood Rottweilers give step-by-step instructions for a patient, methodical approach to teaching your dog about dog carting or drafting. A Rottweiler puppy is first introduced to a harness, then a travois made of PVC. Finally they show detailed photos of a dog being introduced to a cart, including some possible adverse reactions. Most dogs are not physically mature enough to pull any kind of load until they are about 18 months old. Information gleaned from the MightyMite Dog Powered Sports/Carting/
