2018 Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Hampton Roads Open Draft Trial for Chevy

This is the Harness & Hitch. The dog has to wait for you to bring the cart into the ring, stand or sit while the harness is being put on, and walk willingly into the shafts of the cart to wait to be hitched up to the cart.

All Draft Trials incorporate a Narrows, which is a space that is only slightly wider than the cart that the dog must navigate without bumping or hitting any part of the obstacle.
