Scootering with Icelandic Sheepdogs
We have discovered a great sport that we can enjoy with our Icelandic Sheepdogs.

Dog Scootering!  (a form of Dryland Mushing)     and    Micro Mushing!    (Mushing with 1 to 3 dogs)

Help has arrived to advance our sleddog skills.  Meet Chilli and Milan!

Meet Caesar of Sand Creek the future of our Micro Mushing Team at Sand Creek!
We will be teaching our Dogs the following Commands for Scootering:

Hike:  Go Forward
Whooooa:  Come to a Smooth Stop
Gee:  Turn Right
Haw:  Turn Left
This Way:  Go in the Direction the Scooter is Pointing
On By:  Go on by a Distraction
Line Out:  Stand Still with the Tug-Line Taut, Facing Forward
Easy:  Go Slower
Hup Hup:  Go Faster


Additional Commands we'll work on learning as we progress...

Gee Back:  Come Back Towards Me to the Right
Haw Back:  Come Back Towards Me to the Leftt
Gee Over:  Steer to the Right-Hand side of the Trail, Road, etc.
Haw Over:  Steer to the Left-Hand side of the Trail, Road, etc.
Trot:  Trot instead of Lope
