Broke out the harness an acquaintance made for me years ago for my first Dobe. This is a dogsledding harness. What's the matter, Oji? Cat got your pull?

He adopts a high, slightly arched-back posture with the harness :rofl: He'll get used to it and bear down like normal soon.
 
He's still doing a pretty good job of pulling.
Ha! That was like 1/16 power. You can usually play that horse lead like a guitar string. :spit: Actually, sometimes when I am carrying my daughter and walking him (no, it's not an enjoyable experience) she actually stands on the lead for periods of time.:wideyed: :rofl:
 
Looking good! Don't you get dizzy spinning around like that? I quickly learned to just swing it around over my head instead of me turning with it. LOL
Yeah, I do get dizzy :whistle: Oji won't chase it much if I just swing it around without me spinning around too. :tap:

When I do stand still and swing it in big circles, this is what sometimes gets him to spin circles in place :woot2: (which I wish I had tried to get on video).

Come to think of it, Oji really chases it hard when I drag it along the ground like in the vid. If I swing it in big circles in the air, he sort of lazily (or smartly?) stands still and waits for it.
 
This might relate to that thread regarding right-handed vs. left-handed Dobes. Oji will chase the toy hard when I turn clockwise. He reaches fervently with his right paw and this is how he usually snags it. When I spin counterclockwise, he does not chase as hard, and he does not reach all that much with either paw.
