Beginners' Skijor Clinics

Anchorage Skijor Club's skijor clinics are held several times each winter and are usually well attended.  The clinic consists of an hour-long classroom discussion at Alaska Mill Feed and Garden Center, followed by an outdoor session.  Fee for the clinic is $25.  (Attendees are offered a $10 discount on club dues if they join the club at the clinic.)   Attendees should be able to skate ski in order to enjoy the outdoor portion of the clinic. With prior arrangement, ASC will loan attendees skijoring belts, bungees, harnesses or even dogs.

Topics covered include choice of dog, training the dog, commands, dog harness fitting, canine nutrition, skijor equipment, trail protocol, passing and skijoring technique.
