Weight training and a third sled dog?

Today I did a little weight training with my huskies and Loki. I know what your are thinking! you are thinking LOKI??!! A SLED DOG???!! And yes, my dad was the same when I called him about it. Loki is our seven year old mutt who has never pulled one thing in his life. Thanks to Nicki, he is learning that pulling is okay. She showed, at   the pulling clinic, a way to get your dog who wont pull to pull; plus it helps develop strong muscles. And it is working! here are some pictures of the training I did with the dogs.
                                                                          Yay Nora!
                                                                   Good boy Thor!

                                                                  The dog next to Thor is our neighbor dog Roscoe

                                                                      Loki is pulling!!



Way to go puppies!! They worked so hard! And... do you see in the pictures white flakes? I am so excited for snow!

    That harness seems to fit Thor pretty good (maybe a bit tight around the rib cage, hard to tell from pictures). Is that a new harness or Nora's?

    Good work with Loki! He looks like he's getting it! He could easily be a third dog for you if you keep working with him!

    Can't wait for snow either! Yay!

    Aunt Karen: We are impressed! And incredulous that Loki can do that. Can't wait to see it in person.
    Me: Not until I see it with the whites of my eyes will I believe that Loki has done something useful
