What are Bootcamps?

We have a Beginners camp each year - attended by both experienced folk and Beginners. Sessions are run on dog health care, scooters, harnesses, race rules and etiquette, making ganglines etc. Then there are mock race starts and short runs for beginners, and they help to handle dogs for the experienced mushers that do longer runs.

Oh, maybe we are the only state that doesn't run a beginner / bootcamp :o

That's awesome, I had the best intentions of bikejoring with Toby but it's so much simpler just letting him run off-leash with the bike :laugh: (where legal, of course)

:laugh: but but bikejoring is so much fun.. worth a try

Quick video.. One of the pointers on the left, is the number 1 single dog team in the country. national champ. unbeaten last year
