kijoring with your dog? Do you have a pair of cross country skies and one or more dogs that pull? If so, all you need is a harness for your dog and a belt and line for you and you're all ready to skijor. For those who can't wait for snow - this skijor equipment works great with in-line skates, too! Pictured to the left is our Leonberger Bremen in harness. ...extra padding for good back support The harness you'll need for skijoring is the same as the one that you use for dog sledding. The picture below that shows the skijor belt made by Mainely-dogs. Notice that the belt is 4" wide and has extra padding for good back support. The connection between the belt and line is a quick release snap and the line contains a bungee portion to absord the jerk of take-off. If you need a book to help you out, Skijor with Your Dog by Mari Hoe-Raitto and Carol Kaynor is your title. This book is a practical guide to skijoring for anyone interested in dogs, skiing and winter fun.
