How do you choose equipment for canicross, bikejoring and dog trekking?
Choose the basic setup according to how you exercise with your dog and whether the dog works in pull. For canicross you need a suitable harness, bungee leash and running belt or hip belt. For bikejoring, the setup also includes equipment for safely guiding the leash at the bike, while in dog trekking the choice also depends on route length and whether the dog pulls actively or moves with you without continuous tension.
Choose the harness according to the type of movement
For continuous pulling, choose a harness designed specifically for pulling sports. Its shape differs from a universal short harness used for everyday walks or hiking. When choosing, consider not only the dog’s measurements but also how the dog will work in the harness.
Choose the bungee leash according to the discipline
The elastic section helps smooth changes in tension between dog and handler. Running setups use different lengths from cycling, where more distance is needed between the dog and the bike.
Equipment for the handler
In canicross, the leash is not held in the hand but attached to a running belt or hip belt. This leaves the hands free and transfers pulling force through the body. In bikejoring, a bike antenna is also used to help guide the leash away from the front wheel.
Canicross, bikejoring and dog trekking are not the same discipline
The basic principle of moving together may be similar, but adapt the setup to the specific activity. Canicross involves a running handler and a dog working in pull; in bikejoring the dog moves in front of a bicycle; and dog trekking includes longer walking routes where the dog’s way of working can change during the trip. Choose harness, leash length and human equipment separately for each use.
Frequently asked questions about pulling-sport equipment
What do I need for canicross with my dog?
The basic setup includes a suitable pulling harness for the dog, a bungee leash and a running belt or hip belt for the handler. Choose specific models according to the dog’s size, your running style and the intensity of pulling.
Is a regular harness suitable for canicross?
For regular continuous pulling, it is better to use a harness designed specifically for pulling sports. A universal short harness may be suitable for other activities, but for canicross always consider the specific construction and intended use.
What leash length should I choose for canicross and bikejoring?
It depends on the specific model and discipline. For example, the Non-stop dogwear Bungee leash has a shorter 2 m version intended for canicross and dog trekking and a longer 2.8 m version for cycling, scootering or skiing with a dog.
What is a bike antenna used for?
A bike antenna is used when cycling with a dog and helps guide the leash forward to reduce the risk of it becoming caught near the front wheel. It is used together with a suitable bungee leash.
Do I need a pulling harness for dog trekking?
It depends on how the dog moves during the route. If the dog works in continuous pull, equipment designed for pulling makes sense. If the dog mostly walks beside you or without active pulling, other types of harnesses may also be suitable. Choose according to the actual use.
