Great video, i have a 4 months husky myself, did it require much training to teach the dog how to bypass the other cyclist and car safely?

Hi, month is too young for pulling, i started at 1 year old.

But you can begin when you walk the dog. teach him directions, stop and go.

you can starting at 6month to run for training pull. but don"t pull weight, he must grow before.

for safety, i teach my first dog to always run and walk on side walk, the second dog is easier, he does what the other do.

but always scare for cat crossing...they forgot everything

@G13Xtrem Yeah i know he's 2 young to start mushing. But i'm planning on buying a harness for him and let him pull some really light stuff he'll be 5 months in a few days, just to get used to the pulling. And then get a kickbike and start really light in Januari, he'll be 8 months by then and the kennel he comes from says that it's okay to start at that age. Also, what's your thoughts about the winter version of the kickbike?

For the record, I'd recommend runners on snow :) The biggest problem is slush/soft snow with wheels. The slush grabs so intensely at the wheels and totally throws off steering/balance. We just took some of the huskies up to Diamond Lake in the Cascades and there was still snow all over the place. It was a true test of our technical scooter skills! We like the Diggler scooters :)

Hello,

Great Videos, a question though, what is the thing that keeps the gangline from the front wheel?? I have looked around and can find nothing similar, can you advise on where you got it from?

Thanks

[spann33]

[G13Xtrem]
