After raising and training sled dogs for over 30 years I have found that a great day with your dog on the trail is a combination of training, preparation, the bond you share with your best friend and having the right equipment. I originally came up with the TugandTow so I could focus on my dog and what was going on around us rather than always fixated on the line in front of me. There is nothing I love more than sharing a beautiful day in the mountains with my dogs.
