    Intro – Welcome to this online course!

    Finding the right sleddog gear and navigating through all the different options there are, sure feels like navigating through a jungle sometimes. Specially when you’re new to the sport. This is why we decided to create this course.

    Basic Sleddog Gear is a crash course meant to work as a guide through the most common equipment used for sleddog training, no matter if you run one dog only – or a big team. This is the course where we’ll walk you through topics such as the gangline set-up, how to splice a neckline, vehicles used in different forms of mushing and why we boot our sleddogs. One thing, however, that we won’t cover in this course, despite it being an essential part of the sleddog gear, is the topic of harnesses. Having said that, I strongly recommend our FREE online course “Basic Harness” if you’d like to learn more about the subject.

    Ok, are you ready to start? My name is Nicole, and I will guide you through this course. Let’s hike!
