Bikejoring

---

Bikejoring is simply attaching your dog to the front of your bike and letting them pull/run in front of you. Most dog breeds are suitable for bikejoring. Its best to go off road, single track trails around woodlands are the best. Your dog will love every minute of working with you, but having you able to help them as you pedal around.
Because you can help your dog by pedalling (if you can keep up!) this is especially good for breeds that love to run but don't necessarily like to pull at the same time! Most race events for wheels are approximately 5km long, see the Classes page for further details.

Scootering

Scootering is another way to work your dogs. The specialised scooters are lightweight and easy for your dogs to pull. You can help them by scooting along single track and fire roads through the woods. With one dog or two you will find your dogs love the feeling of working with you.
 

Dryland Mushing

Dryland Mushing is the traditional dog sport most people know of. People think its only for sled dogs but this isn't the case any more. Many of the events organisers around the UK run classes for all dogs breeds (called Open classes). The rigs are wider so can only be used on fire tracks or trails but its is still great fun. With teams of up to 8 dogs you can imagine the bond you must have with your team for them to work with you and follow your commands. 

For all wheeled events you will need some specialised equipment; a good fitting harness for your dog. A bike/scooter attachment and a bungee line to go between the dog and your bike/scooter. Also a helmet, glasses and gloves for yourself!
