Title: Dog towing decoy cart
Post by: SnowDog on November 04, 2012, 05:37:24 PM
I've been thinking about getting a cart my lab can pull (he's a big boy @ 85#). Not hauling much more than 2 dozen duck decoys and a layout blind.

(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fk9carting.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F07%2FCargo-carts-Black.jpg&hash=400a53ec7aa968e7c282625540b1ca3cdf4e1443)

I've trained him to tow other smaller carts with the kids, and he tows sleds like a champ. Figure I might as well get some return on the dog food investment. :)

Has anyone done this before? Any tips? (Heaven help me if we come across a running rooster :yike:)

Cheers!

Did you make the cart or purchase it?  Is is for a livestock animal?  I haven't used a cart, but I have vest with side mounted bags on it.  The dog can carry the birds back to the truck.

I have to keep him on a lead to the hunting area so I tie the lead to the game cart that I haul the decoys on.  He pulls I steer.
