Skijoring with a dog is a sport in which a dog, assist a cross-country skier. One to two dogs are commonly used. The cross-country skier provides power with skis and poles, and the dog adds additional power by running and pulling.
The skier wears a skijoring harness, the dog wears a sled dog harness, and the two are connected by a length of rope. There are no reins or other signaling devices to control the dog.
The dog must be motivated by its own desire to run, and respond to the owner's voice for direction.
What you see at a race is the result of long hours of work and planning to ensure that the team is prepared to test its abilities against the trail and the competition.
I have not put on a pair of skis in over 30 years although we live in Utah with the greatest snow on earth. We love to go sledding and make snowmen. Our winter has not provided us with lasting snow in the valley, it snows and melts within a few days so I had to take advantage of the powder in the driveway today. My daughter had these cute ski poles with her dolls' clothes, she crocheted the clothes the dino is wearing too. She has challenged me to stay working with the dinosaurs until I run out of ideas. Limits are so helpful in spurring creative ideas if you ever end up with a block you should put limits on yourself.
