Today, we had weight pull training in the morning and Jay actually got to pull the cart. But we started the session by taking the dogs for a walk while pulling some chains. James was so eager he would not have minded going for a run while pulling the chain. :) After this, it was time for the cart . We started out pulling the cart without any weight, however, the cart itself weights about 50kg (110 pounds) but it has wheels so once they get it going it's not heavy.
After that we added 50kg, still no problems but we let James pull this weight a couple of times before adding an additional 50 kg (total of 100kg = 220 pounds + cart). It was not as easy as before but he still did great. We stayed at this weight for a while until actually adding another 50kg. This time he had to work hard, and it took him a while before he got the cart going, but he pulled it off.
By the way, the dogs get a break between pulls while waiting on the other dogs' turn. I cannot even remember how many times he pulled all together, but let me tell you this much... this is the first time ever, that he went to sleep straight after coming home. Well, first he got a late breakfast which he ate with a great appetite and then straight to bed.. hihihi.. It's not too often I see James tired... as a matter of fact, it may be the first time ever. :)
