if I read this right are saying the pups are 9 weeks old? If that is the case no it is not safe to start bearing any type of weight whatsoever. You can start getting them used to a harness and pulling weights closer to a year of age, but nothing really heavy until they are physically mature (about 2). When the time comes, or to start researching the best place I know of for these supplies is www.stillwaterkennelsupply.com The owner of that site is also a member here so you can PM him regarding any equipment that he offers. There is a lot of research that you can do in the meantime (a few good threads on this site just search for keyword "weightpull")...also basic obedience is a good idea over the next few months prior to starting pulling.

Might want to look at collarmania and Ella's leads for leads and collars for the pups as well

I agree it is way way too early to think about weight pull training

You should be focused on basic obedience and socialization at this point

Just be aware that most PetSmart Trainers that I have seen have very little actual training experience especially more so when it comes to bully breeds. So if you decide to do more advanced training you'd be better off IMO looking for other trainers
