Oh my goodness, that doesn't sound right. If you've seen them treating this dog in other strange ways as you said, that's reason enough to contact the humane society. If they aren't doing anything that is ultimately harmful for the young dog then that is great but if they are mistreating it, you might save this dog from a lifetime of harm. Please contact the shelter to get someone to check it out. Thank you for noticing him and continuing to think about him.

It's a very common way to train a dog to pull...for weightpull competitions or mushing. Gets them used to having something behind them, which freaks alot of dogs out. It's not always a negative thing, but if you've seen other concerning things, I'd call your local AC.

If you live in Michigan, it's probably for dog fighting. Dog fighting is out of control in the Midwest (where I see you're from). I'd call the ACO and police and report it. This poor dog needs help and you're the one that can do it. PLEASE for his sake, report it.

I agree w/everyone else. I wouldn't hesitate to call Animal Control or the Sheriff. Even if they are training it for fighting, how irresponsible is that.

just my thought also... but keep an eye and call if it´s not for proper stuff...

Oh that poor innocent puppy.
I also believe that this kind of 'training' is for dogfighting, unfortunatly. I would call your local animal control officers, immediatly.
Also, thank you sooo very much for caring.
