Pull Procedures

North West Gladiator Weight Pull Club practices simulating Unified Pulling Federation Rules.

1. During practice – there are no fouls. We are here to help you learn.

2. In competitions each dog has 60 seconds to pull 16 feet – keep that in mind during practice.

3. The 2 positions for pulling the dog are in front of the dog or “drive” position, which is from behind the front edge of the cart. When driving the dog, handler must get behind the front edge of the cart and remain there until the pull is complete. And when pulling from the front or side of the dogs, handler needs to be no further “back” of the dog then its back leg. Any further back will be considered in the “no pull zone”.

4. You may treat your dog between rounds with food rewards / treats. But they can NOT be on you in the on deck area or chute.
