Re: weight pull harness
Well it will make him a faster runner because it builds up new muscle groups, you know that runners do weight lifting exercises, when getting fit.....
I noticed that it made Bullseye a faster runner when I started pulling with him
Hope this helps.

Re: weight pull harness
Well I would use a harness with a spreader bar mate, to be honest, because the weight will all be pulled from the dog's back, whereby a wp harness the weight is a good distance from the dog, like a tow bar on a car is the best way I can explain, you would fit a tow bar to the roof of a car and then try to tow with it, because it wouldn't work and it would likely f*ck your car up too lol
Just my theory is all
But yeah drag pulling is great exercise, good way to build stamina too
