When I first had Harry I had no idea what canicross or bikejoring is. I had only seen some sled mushing photos from Internet and that was it. By the time Harry was old enough to train, I had already seen photos and videos of huskies running in front of the bike and I just knew it was something we had to try, since I didn’t like running at that time It was back in 2018 and there was noone around me who was practising dog sports so it was just me and Harry.

Thankfully at this time I already knew Ivailo from Northerhowl, who suggested me the right equipment so I bought harness, bikejoring line and anthena. And then the fun began I honestly had no idea how to do it. At this time I thought huskies were just natural talents and when you put them in front of you, they will run and pull. Of course, it was not that simple When we started bikejoring in the field, he was indeed in front of the bike, running and a bit pulling but also jumping for mices. I had no idea how to motivate him, how to make him more focused, how to help him build stamina and excitement for pulling.

Thats when I decided to create an instagram account, because I saw there were many experienced people from all over the world sharing their adventures of doing different dog sports and I wanted to learn from them. One of the first accounts I started following was Line and Frida from @teamgoldenpower. I was surprised to see a woman running with a golden retriever and even racing together and in the same time I was admiring them so much for everything they did. Not only canicross workouts but also offleash walks on the beach, woods, etc. I just loved Line’s posts and stories and how honest she was about everything. We shared a view comments and from then on I was following their adventures, canicross trainings and we kept in touch. I was admiring her posts about their social canicross runs and I could see so many different dog breeds who enjoy running with their owners. I was like ‘how amazing is that?”.
