I do urban mushing with my dogs. Right now I am using a bike (bikejoring), but I will be ordering a scooter from Diggler within the next couple months, I hope. I am champing at the bit right now because I only have one harness and two dogs. I recently ordered a new gang line and harness from Alpine Outfitters and I received a box on Thursday. Unfortunately, it had the gang line, but no harness so I am still waiting for that. Due to the heat here I can't run my dogs in the summer.
I took one of them out yesterday and he has definitely forgotten some of his trail etiquette. The biggest problem I have with him is getting him to run on the right side of the trail unless I tell him to haw around something. Anyone have any good tips for training him to run on the correct side of the trail? He is the first dog I have ever done bikejoring with so I am not always sure of the best way to go about training. Most of the training I have done so far has just been to take him out and do it, correcting him along the way.
I have a new dog that we just started training at the beginning of summer this year. He has probably only been out 3 or 4 times so far and that was a few months ago. I would also love to hear any tips for running two dogs since I will be doing that for the first time as soon as the new harness arrives.
Hope to hear someone else on here does joring or mushing of some kind!
