Kicksledding & Skijoring

Many people dream of going dogsledding—but what if you could enjoy exciting winter activities with your own dog?

From Corgis to Labradors and Boxers, many dogs thrive in these fun, active experiences. Whether you have a strong puller, a high-energy companion, or you're simply looking to try something new, we’re here to help you harness that enthusiasm, get outdoors, and stay active together.

It’s all about having fun—and we truly believe life is better when shared outside with our four-legged friends.

Kicksledding

Team sport

Kicksledding with your dog is a team effort, where both human and dog work together. Your dog runs or pulls out 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 seeking 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—but it's a rewarding challenge for anyone willing to give it a try.

Canicross & Bikejoring

Tired of getting dragged by your dog on leash walks? Frustrated you can't tire your dog out? Can't trust your dog off leash?

Canicross/Canihike is a fun and safe way to tire out your dog and get your daily steps in! Turn that pulling force into something you can both enjoy and build up to other fun activities!

*** We have rental gear available for all of our activities, try it out before investing ***

Canicross / Canihike

A year round activity for every-dog

Canicross/Canihike is basically walking/ 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

For experienced riders and dogs

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 up with the dog’s pace. It's similar to dog sledding but on a bike, and it's typically done on trails, roads, or open paths.

This sport is great for active dogs with lots of energy and for people who enjoy cycling. Good communication between the dog and rider is essential for safety and control.

Biking with a springer

A safe 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 suitable for pullers AND non-pullers!

Dogs of all sizes and breeds love this activity 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 learning proper leash etiquette, can greatly benefit you in dog-powered sports. Each of these activities supports the others, strengthening your connection with your dog and improving your teamwork.
