Got any feedback? Want to add an image of your dog carting? Do you have plans or suggestions to share about carting or building a cart? Do you have a business that sells carting-related items? If you do, please contact me and let me know about it. (I can scan your pictures for the page, if needed!)
An email list dedicated to carting, driving and related activities has been operating for some time. There's lots of great info to be had...you can join from here!
We got interested in carting when we had a dog big enough to pull a cart. We'd seen it demonstrated at some pet exhibitions, and it looked really neat. Sam, a Great Pyrenees, got his first taste of pulling in the winter of 1995. We bought a cheap harness at a pet store and hooked him up to a toboggan. He pulled our daughters around the backyard a few times.
We didn't do much after that, until June of 1996. The Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Ontario (BMDCO) put on an Introduction to Carting Workshop and we took Sam. He seemed to like it, which was what we wanted to see. Shortly after the completion of the workshop, we got invited to take part in a parade. We borrowed a cart and harness from a friend (thanks, Toni!), and Sam pulled our daughters along the route.
There seems to be a growing interest in carting as a dog activity, even with small dogs. Small dogs can pull smaller carts with teddy bears as passengers, and it's a neat entrance for therapy visits. The larger dogs, of course, can actually help out with moving items, giving rides, or just get some extra exercise by pulling a cart.
Unfortunately, there are few online resources that provide any information on carting. This page will hopefully tie what little is out there together, and prompt other interested people into making contributions. If you would like to add something, please send me e-mail at the addresses at the bottom.
