Excellent source of information
I can highly recommend this book for it's excellent information about the little known sport of skijoring. From making the equipment to training your dog and yourself, this book covers the entire sport.
An exceptional resource for getting started!
This great book taught me everything I needed to know about how to get started in skijoring, what equipment I needed, and how to train myself and the dogs. Thanks to Mari and Carol for helping me get started in this awesome winter sport! For you advanced skijorers, this book also has lots of racing and training advice.
Great for the beginner, the experienced, and the wanna-be
This is one of the few dog books I own that I would gladly spend money on again.
I especially appreciate their section on selecting a dog specifically for the sport. Since most of us skijor with our pets, they make a point of emphasising what you want to live with 365 days a year. They also have a great section on training for races.
My only hope is that they'll have a new edition out someday including training details for distance skijoring, which is bound to be a growing segment of the sport.
