Motivation and team work!
Run with and help the dogs all the time= kick or even run when it’s an uphill and keep down the speed the rest of the time!
Speed is always the big question, how fast or how slow should we let the dogs run?!
We want to go longer than a few kilometers between the stops, so therefore we ALWAYS have to break the dogs down to what we learned is a good speed for our dogs. That is 12-15 km/h, that is good for young and old dogs (and guests 😉).
This means that the musher breaks the team down to this speed, it’s important for other reasons as well:
- When the dog pull with pressure on the line he/she doesn’t need to balance because the harness is shaped to do this
- It shows the dogs that you will not run them over if theyfall through the trail or have to make an urgent stop
- You can better steer/control your sled and maybe you don’t fall off as easily!
- Save energy for the dogs
The speed you choose should be a speed they can go up and downhill for the distance you want to go 👍
Snow and wind!
The last couple of days have given us loads of new snow, the best way to find the exact trail again is to open with dogs. Good lead dogs knows exactly where the trail is and doesn’t stop because it’s covered in fresh snow 💪

Nobel, named after Alfred Nobel!
One of our youngest pups that we decided to keep together with his sister Selma. The other puppies are at @northernstar_sleddogs and @wildlapland ☀️
Here we put a lot of time to train the pups, they run free every day, play inside just as well as outside, play with the easy going older dogs to learn dog language, train on their name and not to bite and the older they get the more advanced training they get.
Next step will be to walk with harness and eat from their own food bowl 🤫

Daily sport!
Today we did a marathon! What did you do?!
Dogs are amazing, running through all kinds of snow and weather conditions wagging their tails doing what they love above all things!

Fullday tour with husky!
During a full day tour we travel 35-45 km through the nature. You and your team can enjoy the ride but also have to work together to make the best experience! After the Thore there is fish snacks, lots of cuddles and sharing the experience with your fellow participants on the tour!
