Has anybody here had a go of this?

Yesterday I did a few hours dog sledding (in Norway until April and it's the only thing Ive wanted to do), and I thought it was awesome. From the start I was grinning and laughing like a crazy person plus the dogs seemed to love it.

Back in the UK we have a Siberian husky and a cockerpoo. As much as I'd love a team of 4 huskys and a wheeled rig that situation is not practical for me. Looking at equipment web sites I've come across dog scootering/ bike boring and have been watching videos of it on YouTube.

Does anybody on here have any experience with their dogs pulling a scooter or bike that they wish to share?

Thanks for the replies. I remember when we lived near the Tarka Trail, i took Loki out with his lead attached to the band are of my bike once. As the bike sped up the freewheel noise grew louder which spurred him on. I also remember it feeling quite dodgy but that was brobably due to not having the right kit. I seemed to be on the brake all the time too.

Do your malamutes know all the commands etc?
