Below are pictures of Nanook, Sammy and Sky Cani-Walking with their Friends Skye and Scooby. Currently we Cani-Cross our dogs which is to say that they wear a shoulder Harness and are 'connected' to us by a line with a Bungee so that if the dog bolts or races on ahead it doesn't injure us, this line is attached to a Musher's Belt or Walky Belt around our hips/waist... Other ways we use to exercise our Siberians is Bike Jore where a 'Walky Dog' attachment is attached to the Bike just under the seat and the dog runs along side the Bike, again the dog wears a Shoulder Harness, we have an adult size Scooter which we also use from time to time, our dogs are connected the same way as Cani-Cross, you can attach the dogs to the brush bow at the front of the Scooter but I've found if you fall off then the dogs will keep running and drag the Scooter along the ground while you try to catch them so it's safer for us to have them attached to the Musher's Belt around our hips/waist.. A racing rig can also be used to exercise your Siberians, this is a good way to get them up to full speed and give them the run they love! A rig is a three wheeled 'Bike' type frame which the Musher stands on while holding onto the handle bars. Sleds aren't used so much as we don't have the snow and winter weather that Canada, the U.S. or parts of Northern Europe have so much. Snow paw store (web address below) is a good online place to purchase the equipment I've mentioned here... |
