Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Harnesses for Luna Sat Jan 18, 2014 2:23 pm | |
| This has probably already been brought up numerous times, but I am on my cell phone and navigating around a forum on a phone is not the easiest thing in the world!
Anyway! We want to start having Luna pull a wagon around so she can get that "working dog" feel that she is bred for. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on pulling harnesses that are made especially for this purpose. We don't know a whole lot about harnesses and would love any suggestions or advice. Thanks! |

| The forum has been a little slow (not a whole lot of posting) which is probably the reason for lack of suggestions.
But there are a lot of great harnesses out there. I know a really popular one used by a lot of members is the x-back harness from alpine outfitters.
Here is the site: http://www.alpineoutfitters.net/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=16
Also, if you use the search bar at the top, you can find lots of threads about different types of harnesses. Hope this helps! |

| Yep. I'll admit, I haven't been poking around much lately since Christmas. Started school last week too so I haven't had much time.
First things first - it is advised to not bike your dog until he/she is at least 1 year of age. Biking earlier than that can lead to damaged joints/plates and growing pains.
I would find a big tablet, laptop, or a computer to sit at and read the forum. I've tried using my phone on here and there is just too much information on the screen to really get a feel for this forum on a phone.
Like Rocio said, there are several threads about harnesses and pulling exercises. I'll give you one example because I've had to read several threads to really get a feel for what exercise works best for my lifestyle.
Many people, like myself, use an x-back harness for bikejoring and urban mushing (carting). I got my x-back at alpineoutfitters. Nordkyn also sells x-backs for a reasonable price. For my bike, I bought a Walky Dog. You can also buy a Springer attachment, but it is nearly 4x's as much as the Walky Dog. It is different than the Walky Dog though, so it depends which one you like better.
Some people also like the urban trail harness from alpine outfitters. It has hooks on each side of the harness and you can bike from the left or right side of the dog, whereas the x-back is just along the back to the base of the tail. It is a little bit more pricier than the x-back.
There's also rollerblading as well if you like to rollerblade. Some people also buy special scooters to have their dog pull them. I already had a bike though, so I felt like it would be a waste of money to buy a scooter. |
