Kicksledding

A true team sport

Kicksledding with your dog is a true team effort, where both human and dog work together. Your dog runs or pulls up front while you kick along to assist and maintain momentum.

Kicksleds can be used with or without a dog, making them a fantastic option for non-skiers looking for an enjoyable and active winter experience with their canine companion.

Skijoring

Crosscountry skiing with dog power

Skijoring is a dog-powered sport where your dog pulls you on cross-country skis. Those with cross-country skiing experience may find it easier to pick up, while beginners might face a steeper learning curve. However, it's a rewarding challenge for anyone willing to give it a try.

Canicross / Canihike

A year-round activity for every dog

Canicross/Canihike is essentially walking or running with dog power.

It's a fun and safe alternative to being dragged by your strong-pulling dog on a leash, helping prevent choking from their collar.

 

Give your dog a purpose while enjoying a more comfortable and structured walk for both you and your dog.

Bikejoring

A thrilling way to keep up with your dog's speed.

Bikejoring is an exciting dog-powered sport where a dog pulls a rider on a bicycle. The dog is harnessed and attached to the bike with a bungee leash, while the rider pedals to keep pace with the dog. It typically takes place on trails, dirt roads, or open paths.

This sport is perfect for active dogs with plenty of energy and for people who enjoy cycling. Clear communication between the dog and rider is essential for safety and control.

Biking with a springer

A safe and fun way to exercise your dog!

Running a dog next to your bike on a springer is a safe way to exercise your dog on busier roads, in the suburbs, or on maintained trails.

This activity is perfect for both pullers and non-pullers!

Dogs of all sizes and breeds love it, and you don’t need to be an overly active person to enjoy it with them

Leash walking and Good Manners

Keep it simple!

Teaching your dog basic manners—like refraining from jumping on people, not barking at passersby, and practicing proper leash etiquette—can greatly benefit you in dog-powered sports. Each of these activities complements the others, strengthening your bond with your dog and enhancing your teamwork.
