Learn more

Basically, it's an obstacle running sport with your dog. You run together on a designated track, tied together with a leash. The task is to complete the distance according to running race rules together. Rules are simple: the dog must run in front (over 95% of the track minimum), and there must be a taut leash between the duo whose one end is on the master's belt, the other is connected to the dog's harness.

Bikejöring is a type of sledding, the dry weather sister to skijöring and skatejöring, wherein one dog pulls our bicycle on a designated race track while tied to the bike with a leash. Rules are simple: the dog must run in front (over 95% of the track minimum), and there must be a taut leash between the duo whose one end is on the master's bike, the other is connected to the dog's harness. Speed is determined by the duo's collective performance. Bends in the track must be tackled by the dog to the master's commands.

Mushing

Learn more

Mushing is a sled competition you participate in with dogs specifically bred for this activity. These are: the Alaskan Malamute, the Samoyed, the Greenland Dog and the Siberian Husky. Sledding imitates the Northern people's sled dogs' work in a competitive environment. This sport requires true teamwork, as the master has to control at least two dogs.

Scooter

Exactly what it sounds like: scooting. To be more precise: it's field scooting with a dog. In the competitive category, a racer on a scooter completes the specified distance with one or two dogs in a way that the dogs are connected to the scooter's front with a 2.5m leash. The racer drives the scooter forward with their leg while the dogs are pulling it.

I am a so-called race-fanatic, I love all sports. Why should dog sports be an exception?

SKIJÖRING

MI AZ A SKIJÖRING?
A skijoring egy téli sport, ahol a kutya, vagy akár 2-3 kutya, a síelő versenyző elé van kötve, és úgy húzza a síelőt. A norvég skikjøring szóból ered, ami szó szerint „sívezetést” jelent. Bár a skijoring állítólag a téli utazás egyik módjaként jött létre, jelenleg elsősorban versenysport. Sík terepen végezve a skijoring olyan, mint a sífutás, csak kutyatárs segítségével.

MILYEN FELSZERELÉS KELL HOZZÁ?
A felszerelés egy húzóhámból, egy részben rugalmas összekötő pórázból, és egy széles párnázott övből vagy beülőből áll. A kétlábú versenyző síbakancsot és síléceket, míg a négylábú versenyzők védőcipőt viselnek.
