How much weight can my dog pull?

Again, it depends! With conditioning, many dogs pull many times their weight for long distances. The average 40 lb dog can pull a 150 - 200 lb person on a scooter or bike.

Can MY dog pull?

Again, "it depends". It depends on the athleticism of the dog, the smoothness of the trail, the quality of the scooter and how far and fast you want to go. ANY dog can pull, with training and conditioning! Size is less important than you think. Little dogs can scooter, too. You scoot the scooter and they run in front and keep the line tight. Think of it as walking the dog with a scooter instead of a leash. Scoooter wheels offer little resistance. See similar questions...

Pulling is somewhat second nature for most dogs. Start out teaching your dog to "line out and stay": attach them via gangline/tug line to a non-movable object like a picnic table or a fence and walk them out to the end of the line and have them stay. Walk back to the table/fence. The first few times you attach your dog to a scooter or a bike, you may need someone to walk in front and start your dog, encouraging the dog to move forward.
