What is Draft Training?

Draft training is a type of dog training that teaches dogs to pull weights or carts. It is a great way to exercise your dog and give them a job to do. Draft training can also be used to improve your dog's obedience and socialization skills.

Positive Draft Training

Positive draft training uses positive reinforcement to teach dogs what you want them to do. This means rewarding your dog with treats, praise, or play when they do something you like. Positive reinforcement is a more effective way to train dogs than punishment, because it helps them to learn and retain information more quickly.

Getting Started with Draft Training

To get started with draft training, you will need a few pieces of equipment:

A harness that is designed for draft work
A weight or cart that your dog can pull
Treats or other rewards to motivate your dog

Once you have your equipment, you can start training your dog. Start by teaching your dog the basics of obedience, such as sit, stay, and come. Once your dog has a good foundation in obedience, you can start teaching them how to pull.

Teaching Your Dog to Pull

To teach your dog to pull, start by attaching the weight or cart to their harness. Then, give your dog a treat and tell them to "pull." As they start to pull, encourage them and give them treats. Gradually increase the weight or distance that your dog pulls as they get stronger and more confident.

Competing in Draft Competitions

Once your dog has mastered the basics of draft training, you can start competing in draft competitions. Draft competitions are held throughout the world, and they offer a great way to test your dog's skills and have some fun. To compete in a draft competition, you will need to register your dog with the governing body for draft competitions in your country.

Draft training is a great way to bond with your dog, exercise them, and improve their obedience and socialization skills. With a little patience and training, you can teach your dog to pull weights or carts, and you can even compete in draft competitions. So what are you waiting for?
