Skijoring

Very short training sessions

You want the dog to learn to feel comfortable with the harness and to associate pulling with something positive. So you need to stop long before your dog shows any loss of interest, and limit training to a few hundred meters (remember, the dog is still growing and isn't old enough for physical traction training).

Low-intensity training

The primary objective is to limit the impact on the joints, so it goes without saying that training should be carried out at low speed. A short jog is ideal to get the dog into a fast trot rather than long strides (the faster the dog runs, the greater the impact - which is why the bikejoring is not recommended for young dogs)

Training infrequent

Training the dog once or twice a week is enough to get him to like pulling and learn the basics (staying ahead and a few basic commands).

Once the dog has reached full growth, the training of the

Canicross belt

This is the equipment you'll wear to be connected to your dog. The canicross belt allows good freedom of movement (so you can run comfortably) while providing good support to distribute the dog's pull across the buttocks and avoid straining the lower back. Depending on your dog's intensity, you'll have to choose between the multifonctional walking belt or the hybrid traction belt.

Bungee line

Also known as a canicross leash or canicross shock-absorbing leash, it connects dog and human. This equipment cushions impacts when the dog pulls, protecting your dog's joints and your back. In canicross, the multisports bungee line is perfect, as it's just the right length to get the dog relatively close for better control.

Dog pulling harness

It is with this equipment that the dog transmits all its pulling power. Our dog pulling harness is ideal, since it offers your dog great freedom of movement and is well padded for maximum comfort. Warning: many harnesses found in stores are not suitable for pulling, and can injure your dog if used in harnessed dog sports.
