A lot of possibilities of
doing sports with the husky are given, I would like to introduce some here. The
best known ist sled dog sports, the Siberian husky isn't a sledgedog without a
reason ;-)
You find some hitch examples, categories, explanations
about several terms, commands and the sledge types. So much for that, more will
follow a bit later.
At first we get down to different sports:

Canicross
Canicross is the sport of cross-country running
while the runner is connected to the harness of the dog with a waist belt and
a line that should never be longer than 2–2.5meters (6–8 feet). The dog must always
be in front of the runner.

Bikejoering
(or cani-cyclocross, bicycle or velo-joering)
Bikejoering is a sport where a team of dog or
one dog pull a bike. The driver sits or Cani-cyclocross, a bicycle or Velojoering,
on a mountain-bike which is fastened to the harness of the dog with an approx.
3 m line. The dog must always run in front of the wheel. Instead of a bike you
can also use a dog scooter.
