No reputable weight pull organization allows human aggressive (many won't even allow dogs that show dog aggression, dog aggressive dogs can compete, but must be under complete control the entire time) dogs at the pulls... there are too many people and other dogs milling about to allow dogs that could bite. There are also people in the chute with the dogs, controlling the cart, and I think one usually holds the dog until the owners are past the line. If you're really interested in pulling her, get her into a training class first to work on getting her aggression problems under control. Only when you've done that should you even consider trying to get her into serious pulling. You also should have a dog's hips, elbows, patellas, etc checked before pulling any heavy weights or doing any heavy conditioning with them, as pulling can really aggravate joint diseases/injuries.
