Stay active with your beloved pup this winter with these dog-friendly, fun, and frosty adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all snow sports are suited to do with dogs. Downhill skiing is an example of a winter sport that puts a lot of physical demand on your dog and can be unpredictable with deep pockets of snow and steep, fast descents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking to frolic in a winter wonderland or venturing out for some winter sports action, your dog will love you for choosing cold weather escapades they can join you on. You don\u2019t need winter Olympics-level skills to get out and enjoy snow sports.

Snowshoeing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a leisurely winter activity to do with your pup? Strap on your snowshoes and hit the trail! Make sure the places you plan to snowshoe are dog-friendly and be aware of leash laws in different areas. Visiting your favorite summer trails under a blanket of snow is sure to make for a beautiful winter scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/dogs\/how-cold-is-too-cold-for-dogs#:~:text=Below%2032%C2%B0F%20%E2%80%93%20Owners,potentially%20develop%20hypothermia%20and%20frostbite.\">not too cold for dogs to be outside<\/a> before setting off on your winter adventures.

Consider going at off times to increase the chances that you and your dog get the track all to yourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some cross-country ski tracks don\u2019t allow dogs, since their paws can ruin the smooth track, and their excitement can be a hazard to other skiers. There\u2019s also the concern of dog poop contaminating what would be a winter wonderland.

As you push yourself forward on skis, your dog helps pull you over the snow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sport isn\u2019t for small dogs but if your dog is at least 35 pounds and has the energy to pull, you\u2019re in business!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though this form of mushing (travel over snow by dogs) began as a mode of long-distance transportation in Norway, skijoring races are becoming popular across Nordic countries. The snow sport even had a brief stint in the 1928 winter Olympics held in St. Moritz, Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Tips For Successful Skijoring With Your Dog:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Practice skiing before you harness up your pup<\/li><li>Teach your dog how to pull before you get on skis<\/li><li>Choose durable, comfortable, and well-fitting gear for you and your dog<\/li><li>Make sure to use a pulling harness \u2014 not a walking harness<\/li><li>Wear the required protective gear, like pads and a helmet<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>5. Kicksledding<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kicksled-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"kicksledding\" class=\"wp-image-22827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kicksled-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kicksled-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kicksled-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/kicksled.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine a typical dog sled, just without the power of dogs! A <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kicksled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kicksled<\/a> looks similar to a dog sled in that you stand upright, and place your feet on ski-like blades that let you guide and glide over the snow, using one foot to \u201ckick\u201d off the ground behind you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experienced kicksledders recommend pushing off five times with one foot before switching to the other, and so on back and forth. Originating in Sweden and Finland, this winter mode of transportation is a great cardio exercise for people who want a little more stability while traveling over the snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kicksledding with your dog will probably look similar to skijoring, where your dog will wear a pulling harness and pull your kicksled from the front while you propel yourself with your feet from the back. A bridle is important to safely attach your dog to the kicksled while allowing for mobility around corners and sharp turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>6. Canicross Running<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/canicross-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"canicross running\" class=\"wp-image-22823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/canicross-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/canicross-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/canicross-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/canicross.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you a fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/dogs\/how-to-train-your-dog-to-run-with-you\">cross-country running<\/a>? Canicross is exactly that&#8230; with dogs! Think of it as canine + cross country. Enjoyable in any season, canicross running is a great cold-weather activity to get your and your dog\u2019s hearts pumping and keep warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canicross involves dog owners running with their dogs and guiding them with verbal cues. Typically dogs run ahead and wear a harness attached to their human running partner\u2019s waist belt by a bungee line. The bungee is able to stretch as your dog pulls and keep them from pulling you forward or backward if they stop short while running. Of course, you can run with your dog alongside you as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dogs certainly don\u2019t hibernate in the winter months, and neither should you!
