Wow. I'd never heard of 'skijoring' until today!



It's XC skiing with your dog. You need a set of old skis, a harness for you (a mountain climbing belt works best, but you can also use any wide strong belt), a dog at least half your weight or more, a dog harness and a 15 foot rope with some form of stress relief (I used two budgie cords duck taped to make a loop in the rope). Find a nice field, harness the dog, put on your skis and connect the tug line between you and the dog harness. Gee means go right. Haw means go left. Fall down when you want to stop. It's a blast and you can have a great time with your animal friend. I used to use two 70 pound Huskies and was totally out of control for the first mile or so (I weight about 140 lbs at the time). I did it for nearly 15 years at least twice a week when the temperature was 30 below or warmer.

Now, I live in warm Vermont and fight with the cat......
