WW354: Jan 22- Dashing Through the Snow: An Introduction to Kicksledding

Course Details

Are you curious about kicksledding? Do you have a dog who needs a great outlet for pulling or could benefit from structured outdoor exercise? Are you looking for a way to enjoy winter with your dog? Maybe you want to get out racing?!

This workshop will help you get started in the sport of kicksledding- where your dog pulls you on a kicksled over a snowy surface.

What is covered in this workshop:

* Choosing and fitting equipment: The kicksled, accessories, your dog's harness and lines

* Configuring your kicksled for pulling by one or multiple dogs

* How to get familiar with riding the kicksled (without your dog, first! Pedalling, steering and stopping).

* Trail requirements and grooming/maintenance

* Training and growing the pulling behavior:

  • --- backchaining
  • --- with a helper rabbit

* Introducing basic cues - groundwork and out on the trail:

  • --- line out
  • --- right and left turns
  • --- passing

* Common mistakes that deter pulling

* Safety considerations
