I had seen carts with four bike wheels that, depending on the human, looked like they would be very easy to pull. The bike is probably best as well for a young dog because it has brakes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . With Auster I did just make her trot along the side of the road instead of pulling me (unless she saw a squirrel and started running). I started her on the roadwork early (about 7-8 months) because we don't have a fence and it was her only real exercise.

They do make some very light weight plastic 2 wheel carts for training and some people use them for competition. The cart I have must weigh about 80 lbs, but it will carry about 1/2 a ton or some ridiculous amount. If you can't be a Good Example,then You'll just have to Serve as a Horrible Warning.
