At the SATHY Expo 1999 the Weight Pulling™ was presented to the crowd for the first time. Then some American Bulldogs and some American Pit Bull Terriers took part to the presentation.
The interest keeps on growing
Weight Pulling™ dogsAfter every SATHY Expo the SATHY ry. keeps on getting several enthusiastic calls from exciting dog owners concerning the Weight Pulling™. Because the Weight Pulling™ is still new in Finland, SATHY provides several training programs for the working dogs. For instance SATHY ry. provides the Mostly Weight pulling-training about once or twice a month from early spring to the late autumn. Also several contests are being held through the year, like the SATHY Kevätkinkerit (at Spring time), SATHY Kesätapahtuma (at Summer time), SATHY Weight Pulling™-contest (at Summer time) and of course the SATHY Expo (at Autumn time) when the competition is international.
The Weight Pulling™ trainingWeight Pulling™ is designed for working dog breeds. It is a very popular sport in the USA and now it has spread also in Europe. Weight Pulling™ is the perfect sport for all SATHY breeds - the American Bulldog, the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Olde English Bulldogge, the Toy Fox Terrier -since it's a lot more than just power. The Weight Pulling™ is about the technique. The dog really has to know itÿs business if it's going to pull some weight. The dog has to be in a very condition both mind- and body wise. Then of course the handler has to have a lot of patience to train the dog.
The first thing that you need is a lot of patience. If you do not have this, do not train your dog yourself. The second thing that you need is a good working dog, from good litter. The dog has to have a good health and a good head. The third thing that you need is the good weight pulling harness. At this matter you can contact SATHY ry. and we will guide you. For more info and tips please contact SATHY ry.
