And I wasnt really even concerned about competition level or anything, this is just to give him some extra exercise and a job. But I really am hesitant to even start anything off- even purchasing the harness, without going ahead and having him checked out.

I wonder if I am being crazy, since I am really not planning on being in carting or pulling trials, or if this is the right thing to do. I feel this is for the safety of my dog.

And on another note, for the people who are competing for titles and such- proving their dogs, I think this is a good way to see what these dogs already are healthwise.

I don't feel this is a crazy thought at all...I definitely, whole-heartedly agree with you.
