Skijoring is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and dog-power. It's a cooperative sport that employs the athletic ability of both dog and skier.

Join instructors from K9 Powered Sports this fall on dryland, at a beginner-level class and learn the basics needed for skijoring including equipment, drills, training, and where to go skijoring around the Twin Cities. Please bring any equipment you already have for skijoring, including a dog harness/ bungee line, and we’ll check for safety and offer advice or alternatives for purchase.

Maximum of one dog per handler. Skijoring equipment will also be available for fitting and testing purposes. Or can be purchased with Jack and the Pack.

Reservations are required by 24 hours prior.
