Pulling a handcart is also a variant of pulling dog sports. Large breeds such as swiss mounmtain dogs are particulary suitable for this.

The dog pulls a special scooter. The driver can support the dog with a special push on technique. The scooters are specially designed for pulling dog sports and have all-terrain tires, powerful brakes and a stable frame so that two dogs can be harnessed. Scooters are particularly suitable for larger, powerful dogs, who are less able to support people in this type of dog sport than on a bicycle, for example.
