United Dog Sports of Northern New England Presents:
A Beginner’s Introduction & Workshop on UKC
Open to dogs of any size, breed or mix!
Slightly curious about the sport of Canine Weight Pull? Think your dog is made for it? How about
an individual sport for Total Dog opportunities? This workshop will cover the basics of UKC weight
pull, the rules, methods of training, health and mental benefits, and proper exposure to equipment. Dogs will
have the opportunity to pull different equipment using positive motivation and handlers will learn how to safely train and
practice for sport or fun!
In addition to titles, awards and a physical outlet, trying new sports can enhance the bond with your companion, build
confidence, help build muscle and conditioning and offer an alternative exercise option. Trained dogs are happy dogs!
Dogs will not be pulling massive weights at this workshop. Dogs will progress on an individual basis and at the instructors advice. Modifications
will be made for growing puppies, dogs with known injuries and prior orthopedic surgeries.
Beverages and light snacks will be provided, however you may want to bring a brown bag lunch.
Working Spot—1 Handler / 1 Dog —$65.00
(Limited number of spots)
Auditing Spot—1 Person—$35.00

Does your dog have any health or behavioral issues we should know about?: Yes / No
If yes, please explain on back. (Many dogs with behavior issues do well at weight pull as they do not have to interact with
other dogs during this sport. Conditioning from weight pull can be great for dogs with some orthopedic conditions).
