Teaching Sled Dogs to Put Pressure on the Line

- Dog-powered sports like canicross, bikejoring, and skijoring require dogs to be confident and happy out in front of their humans with pressure on the line. In this tutorial, we will go over one way to teach dogs that pressure on the line is good and put the behavior on a verbal cue of “line out”.

After 2 years of reinforcing my dog NOT to pull, I never thought I'd be teaching her TO pull, but here we are haha. So far, she loves it.
We know how you feel! So many of our clients felt the same at first! :)
Excellent tutorial! Our family has been using Siberian Huskies for a little over 100 years and this is nearly the exact method we use for our pups…if they don’t pick it up from watching the adults.
I’ve lost upper/lower body strength due to arthritis for years. Just recently have become stronger and able to walk without crutches and walker. Since I can’t take our 60lb Mia out for walks, I think teaching her this will improve my upper strength and teach her how to pull on command.
Thank u!
Hope the video tutorial was helpful for you! Good luck with Mia.
So thrilled to learn from your Dog Powered Sports online course! These videos are amazing. We highly recommend :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow! It’s just what I was looking for 😍 my Samoyed just turned 18 months and I want to introduce her to pulling me on sleds and skating. Thank you for the clear and step by step content!!
So glad you found it helpful! If you would like some more guidance on the training concepts, we do have a self-serve virtual course you may like!

What a gorgeous dogs :O, awesome information
I've adopted a sib/shep mix and this has been really informative to help teach him some cues. I put him to work in other ways right now to stimulate him but this would be perfect! Thank you for how informative this is.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this! I recently got a pulling harness, and my dog is very sensitive to wearing harnesses, let alone putting pressure into them. I hope he will be able to!
god this is every single thing ive been lookin for forever thank you so much!!!
So glad you found it helpful!

This is really informative! Thank you for your amazing videos!
Glad it helped!
Great video. Just starting on bikejoring with our 4 year old husky. Do you have a video on the basics of starting training there? Our problem is we trained her to walk on our left with her staying at our side and watching us. This translated well to going on bike rides as she would stay on the left of the bike. But she hasn’t quite grasped now that we want her in front and pulling on the bike.

I’m having trouble with the 2nd/3rd step of this. My Sibe seems very comfortable keeping tension and ran a few times with the team I work with this winter so he’s familliar with the harness in general, but I’ve found it near impossible to get him to walk to the end of the line on his own, without a guiding hand which has halted our progress some. When I toss a treat, he seems either confused or uninterested, and won’t take it willingly unless it’s in my hand. Any thoughts on this?
Awesome, so pressure into the harness is step one. After that then you want to start to get the dog moving towards a bowl on the ground. Sometimes if a dog has been taught a lot of impulse control, or if the dog reaches the bowl and is unable to get it then they "give up" on wanting to pull from confusion or frustration.
My goal is to always break the process down into smaller pieces so the dog can be successful each time. I would recommend trying to make some more steps between the food being in your hand and the food being in a bowl out front.
So start with a few lures forward from your hand. Then while being next to the dog, lure him forward and drop the treat into the bowl. Click or say "Yes!" to mark the tension and then allow your dog to pick the treat up! Repeat, slowly adding more space between the dog, and the distance they have to move towards the bowl.
what a big boy. How much does he weights?
Lennon is a standard sized Alaskan Malamute (85#). He's a good boy!
