Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| It's hard to believe she is only 8 months old...she is looking so mature. I go to pick her up the Sat after Thanksgiving, and she will be kept very busy learning how to pull. I bought a 3 wheel jogging cart off Ebay, for $15, and attached a tug line to it...I walk behind it giving her commands, so it shouldn't take too long. There is a very active urban mushing group in So.Cal., made up of three or four areas, and the one I go to is in Lancaster. This weekend they are having a weight pulling class for beginners, and on Sunday a scooter run. For those who are intimidated with the thought of bikejoring, scootering with your dog(s) is just as much fun and safer. There is a wide range of adult scooters out there, and one of the cheapest is Torker, at $146 incl. free shipping. Happy trails. |

| Oh and if you're looking for an x-back harness, I recommend Alpine Outfitters where I got mine from. They are custom made for your dog and I really like them. She'll even sew on your dog's name or your phone number for free. We got our phone number added to ours. _________________ -Sara |

| That's great they have urban mushing groups by you! I wish they had a group like that by me. I'm always out there by myself, and while I still have a blast, it would be fun to go with other people. Races are as close to a group hang out as I've gotten, and now that I moved I don't even do that anymore. You guys will have so much fun! |

I'll let you know after a few weeks...I think it's prolly a good starter to see if you like scootering or not, without too much outlay. The equivalent Diggler Dirt Dog is $50 more. A good scooter will set you back about $500, which is a lot if it sits in the garage most of the time. |

| I've had Kayak for just over a week, and took her out for some tire pulling training...this is to get her used to pulling for future scootering, and also learning the command 'on by'. I've included some pics when we were nearly home, and also the rig for use a little later on. The dog in the background is my Rottweiler 'Jilly'...she is also in training for the same thing. |

| Kayak and Jilly doing a realy good pull...this was the first time I had paired them up. That's my whippet Topsy in the background, wearing her winter woolies. First official scooter run..although we had a few problems with 'on by', the last 1/3rd of the run was excellent (prolly 'cause we were heading for home and treat time!!). My Torker scooter. |

Adobo & Biko were the same way yesterday, the last 250 yards was the best part of the trip. They saw home base and we flew like the wind as they know then its treat time. |
