Skijoring
Skijoring is the perfect winter activity for skiing enthusiasts and energetic dogs! Inspired by Nordic sports, skijoring combines cross-country skiing and canine traction, allowing your dog to propel you across the snow. Whether you're an experienced skier or a beginner, this discipline offers a dynamic and bonding experience with your four-legged friend.
Why try skijoring?
🎿 An exhilarating winter sport : Enjoy winter in a different way by combining your passion for skiing with the pleasure of sharing the effort with your dog.
🐕 A complete physical exercise : Your dog expends energy running and pulling, while you work on your balance and endurance.
🤝 Strengthens the human-dog connection : Skijoring relies on communication and trust between you and your dog through clear commands and good training.
🌲 An alternative to canicross in winter : If you and your dog enjoy canicross, skijoring is the perfect option to continue training even in the snow.
