Like many recreational dog-powered sport enthusiasts, I live in an environment where we have serious summer heat and humidity that prevent us from safely engaging in dog-powered sports at the same capacity. But, I actually enjoy the change of pace and the ability to mix up our training and fitness routine and build our relationship in other ways!

In the next two episodes, we are going to dive into safe summer training that you can do. We will talk about training at home that will improve your dog’s cue responses and focus on the trail and fitness routines for at home and on-adventure to help keep your dog in shape for your fall and winter mushing season.
