Viperdogs Dog-Cart Team (Dakota & Jake - Training August 2012)

You can tell the dogs love this by the way they act at the beginning.

[@rustygunnar97876]

Watched a lot! Lifts my spirits! I drive harness horses and ponies, but this inspires me to drive dogs as well. Thanks!

How did I know there would be ignorant people on here clIming abuse, this is exercise for the dogs. The abuse is on those who have the over wheight animals who dont get have the exercise this dogs get. Get a life and for the one who posted the video keep rolling.

[@Oakleaf700]

Our sighthounds used to get a lot of exercise [non pulling though] and their hearts were strong and steady. I offered to take a neighbour's overweight [very] dog out for a slow walk, but after 5 minutes he was drooling ropes of saliva and panting hard, poor dog. He was a golden retriever, walking down the road with a dog so distressed by no more than a 5 min walk was worrying. I let him rest, then walked him back at a funereal pace..he was massively obese. His owners just never took him out, beyond a walk lasting a minute or so. He had a back like a coffee table.. so huge. He was fed boiled hearts and other rich food..he died aged seven. The owners then got a toy dog whom thankfully was more suited to their sedentary lifestyle.

[@floot6799]

The best thing you can give a dog is a job. This is just one way..Anyone who knows dogs will be smiling at what these dogs are doing. They are happy, they are working, and they are with their owner... How cool is that?... If you have a welfare issue about how you feel, how dogs' should feel. Please adopt them all, but i am telling you that a dog with an owner and a job, is an amazing animal... Cheers

[@dostagirl9551]

It is amazing how much they seem to genuinely love this.

[@zp944]

I had a lab as a kid. I'd strap his harness to my big wheel and let him pull me. He'd take me on the exact same route every time through the neighborhood then return home. He was always excited and ready to go every day

[@DakotasLullaby]

I think it's a great *tool* for having fun and exercise your dogs! And the dogs doesn't need to know direction comands, because you can push him in the direction you want to go. Of course it's better to train him though! Just keep in mind to warm up and cool down the dogs and not over-exercise them! greets

[@animangle8479]

Weird how you don't see too much criticism on mushing but when it comes to draft dogs you seem to see much more hate. This was fun to watch, they look so excited and happy. Good job, you're an amazing owner and driver!!!

[@wolfytheaussie9868]

I love Australian shepherds! 😍😍😍😄😁🙂😊

[@Whoa.Emmaaa]

These dogs know they have a job and they enjoy it because these type of dogs are natural athletes. And these dogs enjoy these type of physical work

[@caitlinhargreaves145]

it seems like they really want to do this

[@brittnyhawk8633]

This is awsome. I bike my dog but he loves to pull me along in away. Im gonna look into this. Those dogs loved it. So excited to get going

[@Oscardingo2011]

Everyone says they are pushing the dogs to hard, lets face it if a dog doesn't want to do something it wont. If the dog was to tired it would stop. They are worked up to this and pushed to go a bit faster or a bit further each time.

[@turkeyburglarjones6148]

+Jennifer's Miniatures I want to know where shit like this started. "If an animal doesn't want to do something it won't!!"

[@Oscardingo2011]

what are you talking about? Shit like what? you mean like knowledge to know that if a dog really doesn't want to do something it simply wont do it. It comes from years of experience training dogs. Guessing people who think otherwise aren't aware dogs have a brain and choose to do what they want.

[@turkeyburglarjones6148]

Jennifer's Miniatures Right, so dogs trained with prong/shock collars (positive punishment in general) really want to be doing everything they're asked? Trust me, I know dogs have a brain. I'm a dog behaviorist. I've literally been to college for it.

[@Oscardingo2011]

TurkeyBurglar Jones No they aren't going to want to do nor are they going to do everything they are asked. It's part of the fact that dogs do not do everything they are told to because they only do what they actually want to do. I took and passed animal behavior classes in college. So maybe you need to re-take the classes. Obviously you went when they were teaching out dated crap. How many times are you going to ask in different ways the exact same question? I'm done answering it obviously you don't understand anything about dogs. Or you just choose to be ignorant.

[@turkeyburglarjones6148]

No, I obviously didn't go that long ago. When did I say dogs couldn't refuse to do what they don't wan to do something?? I simply said they can easily be forced to do things they don't want to do if the consequences are bad enough. JUST BECAUSE A DOG DOES SOMETHING IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WANTS TO DO IT. Just so we're clear, I'm talking in specifics of training. On their own of course, they can choose. Yes, with they way a lot of dogs are trained now (force-free) it's hard (and undesirable) to force a dog a to do something it doesn't want to do. But I dare you to go see how dogs with aversive are trained, do they look happy to you? Do they look like they want to be doing everything? Taking some general animal behavior class is not the same level as what I went for, and you're proving. I went to college FOR dog behavior, to have it as a career, you taking a few classes for fun doesn't outweigh the amount of what I learned. I'm going to say it as many times as it takes to get it through your thick skull. With your grammar, I don't feel like retained much from school anyways.

[@fenixcats]

TY for showing us what an AUSSIE is capable of...being involved with Facebook groups and all the people who own full, mini or toy Aussies. When I ask about exercising, like myself, walking our on leash for maybe 1 -2 miles is a lot but after watching this, I now think maybe they "suckered" me into thinking that's all they needed...I just subscribed so I can watch "real athletes".

[@alanlabar7722]

Working Dogs - Excellent Video.

[@katie195]

What a fun sport. The countryside is beautiful. Some breeds live to pull. These two appear to enjoy their job. But some breeds will run long past their exhaustion state. Handlers must be sensitive to their dogs cues.

[@blazinghot18]

God they absolutely love that.

[@marshaheffner1438]

so neat i am training my dog to pull harness and needed to see the comands in use this is great

[@BerettaTV]

Those dogs are amazing!!!!

[@YOLO-ft4jt]

BerettaTV no dogs are amazing

[@BerettaTV]

Pffft what would you know? Can your dogs do that??

[@YOLO-ft4jt]

BerettaTV all dogs can do that and how would i know because they are similar and yes my dog can do that

[@BerettaTV]

All dogs can do that? Well dogs are pretty amazing then. I've got a puppy on the way and when he gets bigger I hope he can do that

[@YOLO-ft4jt]

BerettaTV just train it to do that

[@CHIEFSWIFE1998]

Amazing training the dogs like that they love it 😍 Toll

[@Aslerii]

Ngl the only reason i clicked on this was because my name's dakota and my boyfriend's name is jake lol. However they seem to be very well trained and to be having tons of fun!

Fine video 👍 i plan a trip around Scandinavia with my two dogs.

[@notsure3106]

Cool dogs. They look like they love to pull.

[@DakotasLullaby]

Yes he does!! :) He is younger than her!

[@wross5961]

A happy dog is a tired dog. I really need to get a cart for this wired pitbull.

[@nelsonramos5645]

Beautiful dog and Beautiful Sport...tremendo eso es saber utilizar un medio de transporte.

[@Nomosowicz]

this is spectacular!

[@Thirtiesguy]

Love how people find a way to argue in the comments about this. No one can just watch a video nowadays.

[@amberwarnke6434]

Omg that looks so fun!

[@alien_invation371]

My poodle would love this

[@nickmontes7119]

One million times like!!!!!!!!!!

[@8000pendragon]

so amazing! well done

[@morpar318]

At the 4 minute 30 second mark my dogs would have been like hey how about you get a shot and let us sit in there.

I love it!

[@ostermannbettina]

Was eine Power, klasse!

[@peaceandlove5214]

How to motivate dogs to do that?nice thing I bet you and dogs enjoyed it so much.

[@Wolfmoonqueen]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!! Wow you really have your dogs trained well i am impressed! I enjoyed watching the entire clip and now i'm interested in getting involved in this wonderful sport to help keep my dogs in good physical condition! One of my dogs is a boxer and he's only a year and some months old *he's the baby* and i feel so horrible on walks because he wants to go faster but a person can only power walk for so far so long! I usually tire out WAYYY before him and he usually is left with TONS of energy even after a hour walk and a half an hour of "off leash" time at the park...even my other dogs (granted older) than him tire out and settle down. He is simply insatiable with his energy requirements...but now....i got something for his little ass....Mwhahahahah..... I have 4 dogs that i would like to try this out on, all ranging from small to large, can't wait to get them use to this; i believe they would enjoy it very much! A 4 dog urban sledding team sounds like hella fun!

[@BerettaTV]

Those dogs go hard

[@Mylifeinmykabe]

Hi,ich hoffe du schaust hier rein.....wo hast du das cart her? Es ist so schwierig etwas darüber zu erfahren ..lg

[@samwills1711]

my 2 dogs are just like yours thay like to pull alot.

[@rileydean2427]

Where do you get your harnesses and carts?

[@silentwhisperer777]

where can someone buy one of these carts? and how long should a dog of that size exercising healthly without pushing to the brim?

[@moved7814]

I want to make a tiny wagon to put my sandwich and snacks in (I mean really tiny wagons) for my tiny dawg to pull it while I walk her

[@nightowllol3777]

MOVED I’m doin that rn

[@SusiestarGaming]

Those dogs are beautiful! I love them! What breed are they?

[@maddie.1824]

australian shepherd I think

[@lisaday811]

@@maddie.1824 yes

[@nickmontes7119]

Tose dogs are so exited!

[@barbarawinter2113]

I would like to train my 2 yr old Rotti to be a draft dog. Any suggestions?

[@JamisonYager]

Barbara Winter rots are already draft dogs. They used to pull carts. Also known as Rottweiler Butcher Dogs, in the old world. Just build or buy a cart and start with a leash to lead. They enjoy it.

[@susansdoggrooming6237]

They really enjoy it. What breed of dog are they? I know Aussies don't have tails, I'm just curious.

[@deathhamster_2213]

I wish I had the patience to teach my border collies to do something like that

[@finvinkm]

Get a cart and start up, not difficult at all.

[@Venos604]

Haha! They love it!

[@shand5443]

It's cute yes, and they don't seem to dislike it, Aussie's are bred to work for and please their owner they aren't lazy dogs! judging from the size of my aussie, IDK if I would want even half my weight on her body, plus the carts weight.. but she's on the smaller side. Who are we to pass judgement?

[@plantsbatsandcats]

Shanon Dur the cart is taking pretty much all the weight as well. It’s not any different than pushing a shopping cart really, they just give the cart momentum and then once it’s moving it doesn’t take that much to keep it moving. Simple physics.

[@pixelkimmy3112]

Das will ich auch mal machen

[@Немецкаяовчаркавчастномдоме]

Видно тренируются постоянно. Где бы купить такое снаряжение, я бы тоже на своих катался.

[@bradg674]

What is your opinion of the sacco wagon?

[@محمدنجم-ظ2ر]

Where you buy

[@ThundersTheOak]

How far can they cover safely? Like if you did a few day to week long thing, how many miles could they cover a day safely, that sorta thing

[@finvinkm]

I'm going on a Scandinavian tour next year and expect to be able to run 6 - 7 hours a day at an average of 10 - 15 kilometers per hour. I expect 14 days through Sweden and the same over Finland. i have 2 dogs a sacco cart, my backpack and tent with me.

[@SusiestarGaming]

Never mind just saw they are Aussies.

[@ak-ji3yz]

How fast do they go?

[@ppmm75]

lol those dogs are excited.

[@servicedogonabudget180]

That my friend is the sound so some very happy dogs.

[@ratgoblin5011]

Excitement bark. Mine does that sometimes when she wants to go outside, and some breeds bark a bit more like these guys

[@RankinErica]

I would be so scared lol

[@Trucksh7]

Amazing! (Just please don't run animals flat-out on the hard pavement) Besides that, very cool!

[@YOLO-ft4jt]

youre torturing the dog its a animal abuse.....just kidding its AWESOME!!!

[@tutaion7340]

why they screaming

[@animangle8479]

They're excited and wanting to go. Just listen to a mushing herd, they're 50x louder

[@mayaavelarde6490]

🤣🤣🤣

[@EmilyRichards221]

You're pushing those dogs too hard why can't I take a break

[@stephtee1976]

Emily R if the dogs get tired they slow down and have a break.

[@waleskabilaceca5570]

esos perros están asustados

[@jedidiah5131]

This breed doesn't have the lung capacity/duration for this type of sport....Their backs and hips will also have problems. Their hips splay out at 5degress which is not sufficient for pulling. If you look at a sled dog from behind and compare it to an Aussie you will see what I'm talking about....also Aussie hind legs from the knee up to the hip sits under the dog as compared to a sled dog which makes pulling uncomfortable as the hip flexors are not being allowed to flex completely before they start their forward rotation...as you can see with a sled dog that runs with its rear end held high....These dogs will have many joint /tendon/ligament issues, even their paws/toes/ joints are not made for this ....I have run dogs for 50 years and I know what breeds can pull and what breeds shouldn't....

[@bear022013]

I think it is excellent if you are crippled,as I am,so you cannot give your dog the exercise...he so terribly needs. I lost my constant companion,LOGAN....my German Shepherd Dog of 10 years and life without him is zero. But,if you are healthy and can walk THEN this is a LAZY MAN who abuses the dog.

[@hc7553]

it's not abuse. I can't see any human able to run fast enough to keep up with dogs when they want to go at their own speed. walking for most high energy dogs is not enough. I was walking for 1.5 hour a day and it wasn't enough for my dogs. biking them made them much more happy.

[@servicedogonabudget180]

Ok so its ok if your a cripple but not if you dont have the ability to keep up with a dog and exercise it properly. You are absolutely stupid no one on this earth can exercise a dog like these properly without doing something like this.

[@dimasperez8974]

Eso es crueldad asecina

[@miaholmes6052]

no they think the cart is going after them so they are scard

[@KoriHarlan]

mia holmes they are aussies, they are bred to do this. they love it. if they didn't they'd be yelping and biting at the sides

[@vickirosewall4243]

mia holmes Clearly has never Met an Oz Shepard or owned a working breed of dog. Imagine how placid theyd be after burning up all that energy whoo hoo! I have 2 Alaskan Mals. Not as quick lol but they LOVE this stuff

[@MustangRebel3]

you should not push them so hard

[@cheetahwolf99]

dude that is so mean

[@harveydog7389]

+obamafood aj learn more about dogs before you start to post much

[@finvinkm]

Mean?? you must be crazy they love it😂

[@eeeee8425]

This is completely abuse dogs are not made for this

[@tinnybird1971]

Chanel Oberlin You would be surprised at what dogs are made for, Like seeing eye dogs, Police dogs, disability service dogs, bomb sniffing dogs, duck hunting, agility dogs and much more! The list goes on. There is no harm in the training of them, As long as it is done properly!

[@BerettaTV]

What would you know??

[@plantsbatsandcats]

Actually some of the larger dog breeds where bred to do this same task. Along with sled dogs that where also bred to do the same thing, snow or no snow.

[@hc7553]

my dogs are like this an I rarely have to pedal my bike because they want to pull and run. I let them do what they are physically able to do and when they are done I have them do a cool down. dogs love to run. People don't put enough time for them to be physically healthy.

[@lisaday811]

huskies were bred for this dogs were a beast of burden but them living soft lives has ruined what they were meant to do so those dogs are loving this

[@mathivisu8554]

don't abuse dog...pls stop tq

[@LincolnTheLabrador]

Mathi Visu bloody hell if they didn't like it they'd stop, correct your god damn English it's awful! Do you see her beating them she's talking in a praising way, idiot!
