I very much want to start Moro dogsledding for fun this winter..I'm always trying to think of ways that we can go faster, faster, faster when we go out on a walk or a run... the rollerblades work really well when my husband runs her on them, but I'm not quite brave enough and steady on my feet to take her rollerblading like he does!!! I just have to stick with jogging for now, and I get tired of jogging a LOT faster than Moro does, haha. I've biked with her before but found it really hard to control the bike and her at the same time I'm thinking of buying a scooter (not the rail-thin kind, the old-school kind that actually had a flat surface to stand on) and seeing if it would be difficult to zoom around with her on that. I know she'd be great at pulling a sled too, though it would be just for fun and so we would need something light, and easy, for a beginner.
I know there are a few chaz people who know a lot more about doing this than me... Can you give me any advice on what type of harness, sled, etc. I should be looking into to get her started? Brand names and everything are appreciated, it will at least give me an idea of what to look for. What kind of a store would I be able to buy this equipment in? Is there such a thing as a 'land sled' with wheels for when it isn't snowing, or are the only types sold for in the snow? My husband and I had even talked about building a sled with wheels for running her on land....but I'm not sure of the cost of that, or it we'd even get it right trying to build it ourselves
She has a need for speed like none other, I'm just trying to come up with creative solutions to give her the kind of run she really wants when we go out!
