Skijoring Day 2

This is Breeze's second day skijoring, with her big sister Chaos. She had been along running free for about 5 trips, so thought nothing of being harnessed and hooked up in tandem.

can I ask how you trained the gee and haw commands? I have started training my dog Trip who is a Chinook and I have got every other commands down and pat but the gee and haw. Im having difficulties with the commands

Honestly, they don't know the commands, I kind of shuffle myself to one side or other, lean into my edges, maybe gesture with a hand signal. Works fine for skijoring, wouldn't be anywhere good enough for a sled team lead dog.

Nice!!! I have to teach my husky how to do that.. What is a good rope and harness to do that . I supose you can't just tie any rope to the harness and where do I get it?

[maliraptor]

Look for a local sled dog equipment supplier. The harnesses are sled dog harnesses, the only other things you need (besides skis!) are a skijoring belt and shock-corded skijoring tug line.

Yup, the GSD is 3.5 yrs old and the Mal is just 7 months is this video. Saw your skijoring video - your guys look like they love it, too! Were you on x-country or downhill skis?
