Description

My dog could pull a cart? A sulky? A wagon? Me on skis? A sled? How cool would that be?! Oh, but what are all those straps for? What kind of harness do I need and how does it fit the dog? What’s the difference between skijorring and sledding and pulling a wagon? Are there titles? Can we go in parades? Will I have to spend the rest of my life walking in front of my dog or can I train him to go in front of me? How do I teach the little parts of pulling so my dog doesn’t panic?

Let Sue Ailsby break down the details of equipment and training so both you and your dog can enjoy the pulling sports!
