ive had my staffy for 7 months and made some amazing progress in that time, ill try quickly fil everyone in before i lead upto the question, i new toby a couple of months before i got him, the previous owner loved him but never had the time and really had no clue with dogs( not meaning to sound mean) but when i got toby he was really thin and had little muscle you could see his ribs and spine clear as the sky is blue and his legs were thin, in the past 7 months i have managed to beef him up alot he now has a good muscle tone and a wee bit off fatness about him but mostley muscle and he listens to his commands better than i would have expected him to it is now like i have had him his whole life, but i feel me and him could do alot more together, so i have been looking up weight pulling and was just wondering if he is to old at 5 years to start?
any info would be great
thanks in advance

Certainly not... if you look in training & Exercise you will find a guide on getting a dog started, written by Mark Landers
