In order to harness 4 dogs to the front of your sled, you will of course need 4 pulling harnesses, one for each of your dogs. Next, you will need a dog sled bungee. Following the sled bungee, you will need a team section in order to attach your 2 rear dogs, also called wheel dogs, as well as 2 tug lines for your 2 front dogs, commonly called leaders. In order for your 2 leaders to stay side by side, a neck line will be attached to their collar.
When hitching up 4 dogs, we strongly recommend having an anchor, known as a snowhook attached to your team just in case. If for some reason the dogs get tangled up or you need to get off the sled, then you can secure your crew safely to the ground to prevent them from scurrying off without you! In addition to your snowhook, you will also need a snowhook holder on your sled as well as the snowhook line to connect it to the carabiner in front of your sled.
