Weight Pull

Weight pull is  more than a sport in which the strongest dog wins. It involves training and conditioning, as well as obedience and and a dog-handler team that works together.

At WPBTCA, you may find snow pulls, wheeled cart pulls, as well as rail pulls. Dogs are weighed at the beginning of the pull in order to determine the weight class that they will pull in, as well as to determine the percentage of body weight pulled at the end of the event. The dog must pull the designated weight, which is increased in pre-determined increments, for a designated distance within the time frame. For detailed rules and regulations, please see our Handbook.
