Carting For competition and pleasure, 2 or 4-wheeled carts are pulled by dogs of many breeds -- from small Norwich Terriers, to large St. Bernards. A good website with information about carting is www.berner.org. Berners are one of the many kinds of dogs that enjoy carting. For seminars and more info, you can write to Lisa Ebnet. Flyball A timed relay race. Here's how it works: A team of four dogs go out, one at a time, over a set course of jumps. At the end of the jumps they catch a tennis ball, and then return back over the jumps to the start line.
