Dog mushing is a sport that has captured the attention of youth for generations, inspiring big dreams and plenty of adventures. Dog powered sports, such as canicross, bikejoring, scootering, dog carting, and skijoring, are exciting for kids and their four-legged companions. This club will give learners a place to start, like-minded friends to share the experience with, and an enthusiastic dog mushing mentor from Nome, Alaska. Learners will be able to ask questions, get advice, and share stories with the class. Each week, we will focus on a different topic, and open up the floor for discussion. We will delve into intricate world of equipment, dog breeds, training, nutrition, and dog care. This is a safe, welcoming place for youth to "talk dog!" Topics will include: Choosing a Dog Fitting a Harness Training to Pull Teaching Commands Choosing Equipment Mental Stimulation Choosing a Dog Food Vaccinations Deworming Raising a Puppy Finding a Local Mentor Races & Events

Teacher expertise and credentials
I started running dogs when I was 13 years old, though I had been talking about it since the time I was 4 years old. I moved to Alaska from Pennsylvania for college and also in search of a lifestyle involving the rugged wilderness and plenty of furry companions. I want to inspire youth to follow their dreams and take some dogs with them.Reviews
