Skijoring - Skijoring is a winter dog- or horse-powered sport popularized in North America and derived from the Scandinavian sport of pulka. It involves a horse or from one to three dogs hitched directly to a human being on skis.
Bikejoring - Bikejoring, similar to skijoring and dog scootering, is a sport where a dog or team of dogs pull a bike. Bikejoring and dog scootering are good non snow season activities and skijoring can be done when and where there is sufficient snow.
Dog harness - A dog harness is piece of equipment for dogs, generally similar to harness tack for horses. There are various designs depending on the type of use, whether it be for assistance to a disabled person, hauling a cart or sled, or pulling a human being, such as in skijoring or pulka.
Mushing - Mushing is a general term for a sport or transport method powered by dogs, and includes carting, pulka, scootering, sled dog racing, skijoring, freighting, and weight pulling. More specifically, it implies the use of one or more dogs to pull a sled on snow.
