The term”cart” generally refers to a two-wheeled conveyance and is the type generally used in competition. A four-wheeled vehicle is a “wagon”.  Wagons are generally more stable but less maneuverable than carts.”Sulky” is a specific type of cart with a seat  designed for a human driver.

There are no specific rules regarding the construction of dog carts, but some courses may have a maximum width of certain passages such as gates or bridges.

In a competition, the types of carts and wagons can range from finely crafted wooden vehicles to home-builts. The only concern is that the cart be safe and stable. Carts which do not meet this standard will be excused by the judge before the team can begin the course.
