Our instructors are active mushers and racers, who truly enjoy sharing their knowlegde of this wonderful sport and encourage participation at any level. What makes us unique is our "canine mentors". If your dog is having a difficult time catching on to the idea...we have well balanced, friendly and experienced sled dogs that will show them the ropes. We have proven over and over again that dogs learn drafting skills much faster from other dogs. Secondly we have a wonderful facility, featuring private trails and training fields. One of our new additions is a "Gee / Haw" training maze, which the dogs love. Your dog does not have to be a husky. They merely have to love getting out on a trail, and enjoy running. We have had breeds ranging from Blue Heelers, to Standard Poodles, Spaniels, Border Collies, Sheperds, Samoyeds, and many mixed breeds, even a Beagle cross. They are not required to pull you. The dog simply has to keep the line tight, by moving out in front.
Dry Land Weekend Clinic...October 22-23 2011 Scooter, cart or canicross gear is required. If you do not own any equipment let us know, so we can discuss what options are available to you and what is best suited for you and your dog. This weekend session will give you a jump on the winter season. Follow up with the Skijor / Sledding Clinic in November and you will discover how much fun you and your dog(s) can have. Experience the thrill of winter, at the same time as keeping yourself and your dog in shape! What to Bring..... For Dry Land....bring either a Canicross Belt, Scooter or Cart. For Skijoring bring Cross Country Skis, Poles, Boots, and Skijor Kit if you have one.
