Service Description

Come and learn about this fun team sport with your dog! Work on putting it all together! Bring your gear, learn groundwork, drills, how to get started with cues, how to teach your dog to pull, and more! Our webinar is a great prerequisite that goes over all of the required gear, safety, and what to bring. Location: TBD (North or South Glenmore Park, grooming dependent) Time: 10:00am-11:30am Cost: $60 per person Required: Cross country skis, boots & poles (skate or classic, rentals are fine), warm gear that you can move in (layers), high value treats (in a fanny pack or accessible location), harness with back clip, canicross belt, bungee leash. Recommended, but not required: X-back harness, dog booties, helmet, ski pants, hiking boots or winter shoes (for groundwork) Please note that these in person sessions are weather pending - if the forecast calls for below -15 (or -20 feels like temperature) we will contact all registered attendees to discuss rebooking or moving the session to a different time. If we decide to proceed we will take breaks in cars and the session may run for longer. Keep in mind you and your dog's own cold tolerance! As with any group class, rabies and DA2PP vaccines are required. Maximum 4 dogs per session. *Note that while anyone is welcome to attend, it is recommended that you have basic cross country ski skills (skate or classic) before skijoring with your dog. If you want to learn how to ski first, contact us for recommendations! We are not ski instructors nor do we claim to be. We focus more on the dog training aspect of the sport. Contact us if you have any questions!!*
