Driving Two Dogs

- Dogs that pull, Two dogs pull their sulky 3 miles around Green Lake, Washington. They practice driving commands like gee, haw, over gee, wait, and walk. They encounter pedestrians, bicyclists, leashed dogs, crows but unfortunately, no squirrels.
My dog pulls me on the scooter and loves it. If I so much as walk in the direction of where I keep the scooter he starts running back and forth from the door to where I keep his leash and harness. My other older dog does not enjoy it as much so I just walk him normally. But they both love being outside and getting exercised. So much better than just leaving them in the yard.
Awe, I could watch you drive them ALL DAY!! They truly enjoy it and Rosie's ears flopping about as she trots is so stinking cute!! I've always been interested in dog sulky's ever since I trained my mare to drive and pull a cart. I have so much fun with her; that and now I have 4 dogs. They run on the treadmill during the winter, but I would love to drive them during the summer!! Hauling my mare and her cart just takes so much effort, but a dog cart is so much lighter, and I could drive them anywhere. I have a wolf hybrid who's mixed with Husky, beautiful dog, large already at nearly 4 months old, blue and a green eye. I plan to drive him with my husbands pointer/ lab mix. They're both the same size already, despite my husband's dog being 4 years, not 4 months like my boy is. Then I have a Sheltie and Min Pin, who won't be pulling but would come along.
Jesse, I have not looked at this video for years. It is really good. Shows what dogs can do. You have dogs that are perfect for this sport. If you can train a mare to drive, you already know how to train dogs. Take a look at the "How to Train" page at www.chalosulky.com. Our sulkies are much improved over the ones in this video. Sadly, Brett died of lung cancer while still young. Rosy ran off while boarded and chased livestock and was shot. She did have the cutest ears ever.
Daphne Lewis I'm so sorry to hear about both of your dogs, that breaks my heart! Are you still using your sulky with new pull companions? I sure hope so. People are cruel. My mom passed away from cancer, then my grandma, & then my grandpa all within 6 months of each other. Some days I wanted to die but then I heard a quote: grief is the price we pay for love. My mare was there for me when so many family members passed away. One day my mare is going to be put down hopefully well into her 30s, she's 9 now, but one day it's going to happen & she makes me tick. I've had her since she was 2. Everything she knows, we learned together. She will lay down so I can mount on cue, stand out in the pen without a halter etc while I trim her hooves, she rides bareback, saddled, rides in a halter, bridle, or just using leg cues & seat to get her to speed up, slow down, stop or spin. I've done liberty work with her & she stays at my side as I run around the property, stops when i stop, & I'm currently working on sending her out to lunge without tack to work circles around me. It scares me to think of that day I'll have to witness her being put down. But grief is the price we pay for love. I hope you have new dogs to share yourself with, you had an amazing team.
Hi Jesse, my business is selling sulkies. Yes, I have new pulling dogs now. I am awe-struck by the skill you have with your mare. Congratulations on an outstanding relationship. Your skill amazes me.
It's so nice to see dogs with a job to do. I'm sure they're happier for it too!
And thank you for taking the time to view it and to comment on it. I sell sulkies at Chalo Sulky so sulkies being my business gives me an excuse to spend the time making videos. Videos are really absorbing and fun to do. Daphne Lewis
You are right about that. When the dogs are pulling happily, driving a sulky is really fun such that your mind is with what is happening instead of all the other things that our minds bother about.
The passing Huskies are like 'hey what about us' LOL
Go for a leash walk. Use a prong collar. When you see a dog ahead, start to run and excitedly tell your dog "On By". Keep running past the dog. When your dog veers towards the other dog, jerk quickly and keep running. Make passing another dog and continuing a fun game. After passing the dog and a safe distance away, slow to a walk. Treats, praise and more walking.
"poor man's horse"
i LOVE this :D i own bandogges- quite well built larger dogs, i've just introduced them to treadmill training and have always dreamed of having a cart pulled by 2-4 of them.. inspiring clip. horse power?? nay, DOG POWER! :D
Greenlake? That’s my area too! Im just starting to teach my Pyrenees to drive. Hope to meet you on the trail this summer 😀
These days I live in Georgia. My dogs still love to pull my sulky.
Nice job!! good for you for finding a fun activity for you and your pets. I wish more people did original stuff like this.
Hi Johnny, Actually the reason the dog has his body tilted is that he is pulling harder. He was a fine puller; rosy often slacked off. This make the two dog hitch crooked. The problem was exacerbated by the difference in height. If I were doing it again, i would put one dog on the shaft and one dog pulling with a tugline.
For a Canadian, I'd have thought you'd understand this... this is the same as year round dog-sled training... no whips, no beatings, only short warm voice... no signs of cruelty anywhere in this video.
Awesome Dogs!
This is AWESOME!
It's amazing how MUCH this looks like or is analogous to White Rock Lake here in Dallas - must be a very similar size!
The path around Green Lake is 2.8 miles. A beloved part of Seattle.
Daphne Lewis Cool! Well, WRL my be larger - in any event, the path around WRL is about 8 miles (!) but does veer away from the lake in places:-)
This looks like the best.... thing... ever.
Really driving dogs is great for dogs and great for drivers.
Interesting that you say that. What mushers say it "You can't push a dog with a rope". What they mean is that dogs pull because they love it. If you force a dog they cower and lie down. So it is not cruel. In the opinion of mushers, people who drive dogs with sulkies and people who ride scooters that their dogs pull, it is cruel to leave a dog in a back yard, bored and with nothing to do.
Good point about the booties. I haven't done booties because I often drive the sulky on dirt and because when it is hot, I don't drive. I haven't had to drive on hot pavement.. Summer is coming, though, and gas is getting more expensive...
Great video!
Hi. I refurbished a old wheel chair and trained my rottie/golden to pull it. we have such fun together!
Wolfsrule, I'd love to see a photo of that. How neat to use a wheelchair.
Cruel? Michale, those dogs are having a blast. Tails are sticking out, they are prancing. That doesn't happen with unhappy dogs.
@DaphneLewis Yes, but a great addition to these find animals is the dog boot, something like what "rough wear" makes. People sometimes don't realize, on a hot day they can burn a pad, or slip a pad--and there really is no reason for it when it is so easy to prevent it. On top of that, the boots look great.
I absolutely love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful sport with us. Both Brett and Rosie are stunning! I will be so excited when my Collie puppy is old enough to pull!
you are a pioneer.... plain and simple.
The cart is a sulky built by Chalo Sulky. The design has improved since this video was shot.
Absolutely.
The forward shaft comes off. I put them in a shed tilted so they are backwards. They sit on the luggage rack.
good video , thanks for the effort you put into it
Hello husky pal. You can hitch one dog to the dorsal shaft and hitch the other one to a tugline that goes between the harness and the vertical part of the shaft. In other words one dog is hitched sulky style and the other is hitched musher style.
are you kidding? dogs love this! I think dogs would enjoy this more than a regular walk or job because they don't have a slow human dragging them down. Is it cruel to walk/job with your dog? Is it cruel to throw the ball until they quit and lay down? No! If a dog decided it didn't want to pull anymore he'd quit and there is nothing you could do to force them to continue. Like she says below.
Impresive
Hello Silverstar, When you sit in the dog sulky, the seat is behind the axle. Therefore your weight lifts up on the dog's back. You will not hurt the dog's back. Daphne
What an awesome video, and well trained dogs. Really enjoyed watching :)
The two dogs are not being heart. I can tell that they enjoy doing this because they behave so well. If they didn't want to do it they wouldn't. You can't make a dog do something they don't want to do.
Whoa, that looks sooo fun!!!
you either must go there on a regular basis or many people do this in Seattle. I can't seem to go anywhere driving my dog without people stopping me with questions and wanting pictures :) Good to know someone else uses sledding terms too :D
Seriously, I have lots of information about how to train a dog to pull. Some is on the Chalo Sulky web site, some on the dog scooter site, plus I have multiple videos, especially "YOur Dog Can Pull". You can buy books and DVDs from my web site.
I cant believed I watched that whole thing. It was very interesting though.. And i had no clue there were contraptions like that.
"Gee" and "haw" is what mushers use. It is perfectly fine to say "right" and "left" if you prefer. I suppose the why is because those words are standard for driving and mushing dogs.
Dogs need this thing because dogs like to run
I believe so.
I design and make the sulkies and their harnesses. You can see them on my web site Chalo Sulky.
Andres, I make the carts and wagons at Chalo Sulky in Georgia USA. We ship.
How much ???!!!
and how much does it cost to ship? I'm in Vegas
Coraly Dupree Go to www.chalosulky.com and see the various sulkies and their prices. Shipping is listed there also.
I need this for my training :3 I do training with dogs even tho I'm young, but people can't stop me. If they have bad habits, a fear or you want them to do tricks (like jumping) I do it. I might try this for training ^-^
Well Said!
really good video, I'm thinking about getting one for my dogs as well but a little suggestion, i noticed the dog on the right some times has to run with its body tilted to the side due to the height difference between the two dogs, may be find a solution so that the line is balance so your dogs can enjoy it more? I think its better for the dog physically too. Great video again, thanks for sharing
thats pretty cool my lab,husky and pit bull would have fun doing that i think
Amazing! How did you get your dogs to do this? I bet you get alot of stares.
Will you teach my dog how to do this? Hahaha
When you sit in the sulky, your weight lifts upwards on the shaft. The harness is carefully constructed to protect the dog's back should you slam on the brakes and cause the shaft tip to dip down.
ok thanks
So cool! I wish i could do this, Only i can't find a sulky.
I sell sulkies at www.chalosulky.com
I'm training my dog to pull a cart he is so good at it
Where can u get this cart bcuz this cart is awesome
A 45 pound dog can pull a sulky on level ground. Two 45 pound dogs hitched together is a powerful combination.
I have two German shepherds who i always walk together. I have a video up on my channel. My mum was always telling me to get a sulky but i dont know if they sell them for dogs in Ireland
this is great. I really want to train my Malinois rescue (boundless energy and learning desire!!) You should get a Go Pro camera, it'll make filming easier and I love watching this.
I can't post it here. Google Chalo Sulky to find it.
Hello Kissme, That is pretty funny. I wondered whether someone new to the dog pulling sport would watch a video like this. Daphne
This is cool. Does it hurt the dogs' backs? How is the cart supported?
cool, but what about their feet? i know sled dogs for snow have shoes, are there 'athletic' dog shoes for roads?
+MisSorryforthespam I've never had trouble with my dogs' feet. Mushers might go fast for 20 or 30 miles. Mine go slowly (6-8 mph) for 1 to 5 miles.
If you guys say its cruel than why you watching
What are you driving? I am in Georgia now and where I drive I don't see people all that much. Perhaps you would like to hook up with K9ScootersNW and the Cascade Sled Dog Club.
I'am surprised the people with the beautiful husky's didn't stop you and asked about the cart. Or do you do get that a lot?
Actually I did not get too many people stopping me. Mostly because we are going in such a determined manner.
Daphne Lewis pfff i am from belguim and if we do that we can get a find or go to prison but its perfict for rotty s or pittbulls to burn enegie (sorry for the bad english)
Hello MoonDancer, I manufacture sulkies at Chalo Sulky dot com.
The dog sizes seem a little mis-matched.
Yes, father and daughter.
where did you get the cart
Andres, I make and sell sulkies, wagons, harnesses at www.chalosulky.com.
I live north of Seattle and just got a Catahoula leopard Lab maybe Dane mix who would be amazing for this but where the heck do I find these sulkies?
I manufacture these sulkies at www.chalosulky.com
@@DaphneLewis would it be possible to set up training sessions with you for training me and my handsome boy at Greenlake if I brought him to Greenlake? And then can post footage to your channel. This would just be the highlight of my year. To see my Jaspy having the time of his life pulling a sulky and driver. Because it is so true they do love to run. Pull. Explore. No better way to channel their loves and have a happy dog!!
You just have to see this boy of mine. He has such an amazing happy energy but also high energy and would love to allow him to exert and channel his energy in a way that I totally see him excelling at.
@@yogagirl4019 I now live in Georgia. To get help with training him Contact the various mushing and/or bikejoring folk in the Seattle area. I don't have the contact info but search the Dog driving Facebook pages.
@@DaphneLewis ok thank you!!
i dont see some cruelty!!.
the dogs are working outside, not laying all the day in the apartment waiting the boss for go outside just 20 minutes.
i think maybe they prefere this whit "her mum". ;)
where can I get one please tell me !!!
Where can I get this cart?
The company is called Chalo Sulky. The web site is www.chalosulky.com.
was this before Rosies accident?
Do you have a link to your web site?
So this is suppose to be cruel? so then that makes husky pulling cruel to. Pff look at them go they love it. You've got horse pulling, cow pulling, goat pulling and much more. Why should dog pulling be cruel and the other pulling methodes not?
Why say haw and gee and all that? Dogs understand English fine so is it for fun?
Do you ever have people try to stop you because they think this is cruel? Stop you while you're doing this I mean. I can just imagine some arrogant person would say something to you in the street.
Lazy, you would think so. Actually, I have not had that happen. Maybe because the dogs are trotting so well that the person does not have time.
If you love your dogs you use AT LEAST two dogs. Letting yourself being pulled by one dog is totally ridiculous. It´s not a horse.
I'm really not sure about all this .... Especially when you stopped for water they sat down immediately!! They can't tell you they are done and they want to please you too. You look okay but other videos the dog is pulling too much weight. I don't like it at all.
-.-
2 wheel is so cruel 🥺
crule
Omg the dogs are so fucking tired do that with huskys not mute or german sheperds -.-
Those are note mutes, or GSD, look like malinois. Malinois can for a long time. Look happy to me.
Gairnok Killstryke they're not malinois either
dogs are not slaves plz dont do this
Dogs love to go and pulling allows them to go safely without running into trouble like chasing cats or livestock.
Dogs were made for working. It is in their personality to serve their owners. They are not harmed, it is exercise, they would tell mrs. Lewis if they were not happy.
it seems cruel
