    A few more words about
    Basic Sleddog Gear

    Finding the right sleddog gear and navigating through all the different options out there, can often feel like trying to find your way through a jungle. Especially when you’re new to the sport. This is why our MeMush Team decided to create this beginner's course.

    Basic Sleddog Gear is a crash course meant to work as a guide through the most common gear used for sleddog training, both with small teams of one or two dogs and bigger teams. We’ll walk you through gear such as lines, booties and the different vehicles used on snow, aswell as dryland. You’ll learn about the differences, functions, what to use and when to use it. We'll also talk you through the most common safety risks of mushing, as well as provide you with some handy tips to use in real life situations.

    What our students say  

    This was the perfect introduction to the world of dog sledding! As someone who's brand new in this area, I was honestly a bit scared of feeling dumb for not knowing or understanding. But I couldn't have been more wrong! Thanks to MeMush, this felt like the most comfortable thing in the world. It was like sitting with good friends, while learning something new!
