Weight Pulling for Tracking Conditioning Weight Pulling for Tracking Conditioning By Dennis Helm Panda showing perfect weight pulling form. Along with working tracks that are up to 5 miles long, we engage in weight pulling. Weight pulling seems to help with the dog's concentration more than running does.
Weight pulling is an introverted activity as is tracking.
Concentration and obedience are the essential ingredients to being successful both activities. For the past 35 years I have run my Dobermans along side my car or van, depending on what I had for transportation at the moment. I have been weight pulling my Dobermans for the past 7 years. On top of this we average 170 tracking days per year. A lot of time is spent on training.
