5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite books.   April 23, 2004

When I first bought an Alaskan husky I knew I wanted to skijor but knew little about getting started. My brother sent me this book from Anchorage and it helped send me and my dogs on some very enjoyable journeys. I read it every year when the snow started falling for the first few years. By now I have the book memorized. The ones most grateful for this book are my dogs. They now have a job that they love to do. When I pick up their harnesses they go berzerk with happiness. They love to run more than they love to eat and that is saying a lot for a dog. Perhaps the next edition could outline some methods like canicross, scootering and bikejoring for keeping dogs fit in the off season.

This is one of the few dog books I own that I would gladly spend money on again.

I especially appreciate their section on selecting a dog specifically for the sport. Since most of us skijor with our pets, they make a point of emphasising what you want to live with 365 days a year. They also have a great section on training for races.

My only hope is that they'll have a new edition out someday including training details for distance skijoring, which is bound to be a growing segment of the sport.


5 out of 5 stars An exceptional resource for getting started!   March 1, 2000

This great book taught me everything I needed to know about how to get started in skijoring, what equipment I needed, and how to train myself and the dogs. Thanks to Mari and Carol for helping me get started in this awesome winter sport! For you advanced skijorers, this book also has lots of racing and training advice.

I can highly recommend this book for it's excellent information about the little known sport of skijoring. From making the equipment to training your dog and yourself, this book covers the entire sport.
