Skijoring is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and dog-power. It's a cooperative sport that employs the athletic ability of both dog and skier.

At this beginner-level class you and your dog will learn the basics needed for skijoring including equipment, drills, training, and where to go for all the dog powered sports around the Twin Cities.

Please bring any equipment you already have including a dog harness/ bungee line, human belt, and we’ll check for safety and offer advice or alternatives for purchase. You must bring your own skis and must already feel comfortable cross-country skiing.

Maximum of one dog per handler. Must have a 6ft standard leash. Equipment will also be available for use the day of, and can be purchased with Jack and the Pack at the end of the session if you’re interested.

Dogs must have proof of rabies (Will ask for proof of rabies at sign up), and must be 1+ years old.
