1st Husky Run of the Month

First run of March -
roads closed off and limited mushing on tarmac which Siberians can handle (Urban Mushing a great example). Racehorse village and 6am in winter on Sunday so no danger with spotters.

Huskies are incredibly strong,impressive.

[@PixarShark]

I love love LOVE how they'll mouth at each other and psyche each other up at the beginning of the run. :D Like a football team slapping each others' helmets before a game.

[@denniscook1422]

that was great. man they run fast.

[@buibuiopolismayor7329]

Amazing! i have seen way too many sled dogs in urban areas that are just obese and dying of boredom from the slow walks they take. So sad that people bred them and raise them as aesthetic toy dogs.

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Thanks for the feedback - yes, that's a pet hate of ours, seeing any obese dogs. especially sled dogs. We're out in the country but just have the road in front of us which is fun!!

[@Nocturne33]

Buibuiopolis Mayor well there are people who just want a their dog to act like a normal dog.

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Prepare your anus no such thing as a 'normal dog'. Each one is different and have different needs. Sled dogs instinct is to pull therefore is completely normal to them.

[@Nocturne33]

Chris Lilley I was referring to the normal dog treatment but ok

[@Nonlethal106]

Seeing fat dogs is so sad

[@marymoodey2446]

Just what I needed to see to begin my day! Creative energy comes from the most unexpedted places.

As long as the squirrels don't run out in front! 😁

wow! the husky's are so cute! this vid is awesome

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Minegirl PlayzzGamez - thanks, we all have great fun. With our new pup, this winter we will have a 4 dog rig 😁

[@KingKhamari]

Thats so cool! When i get older im gonna get a huskie!!!

[@damienchazelle8933]

very well trained huskies!

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Thanks Doremi Lite - they love what they do. Coming into cooler weather so prime mushing season about to start 😁

[@Just2Huskies]

They were gagging to go 😂 I hope you make more vids cuz I see this ones real old. We are just starting out bike joring so we can never see enough videos showing us how it's done! Subscribed!

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

There are newer videos but some family problems this winter meant we didn't get out as much. We'll be back soon when it's cooler 😁

[@Just2Huskies]

Chris Lilley well hope everything's better now! I think we'll have to stop for now too as we've done lots of reading and it seems she's not old enough to pull anddd we need to invest in a good fitted harness! Watching your videos is great tho! It's amazing to see them doing what they're bred for, just beautiful to watch. One question tho! Which is left and right? Gee or haw!? 🙈 ive seen people use them different ways?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Lady The Husky Gee is left and Haw is right. They were originally Scottish words used for draft horses but taken by sled dog mushers. Proud to be Scottish! Yes, get a good harness. We use Canadog cross backs. I've a young bitch who'll be 18 months when it's time so she'll be ready - 4 dog runs 😁

[@Just2Huskies]

Chris Lilley thank you for your info! Always great to learn new things 👍🏼

[@Just2Huskies]

Hopefully il have some videos like this on our channel next year 😊

[@remco19]

great speed buddy :) i love to do in the winter. summers i miss it. but off leash running. also fun

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Cheers Remco, I know what you mean. In prime mushing weather now with frosty mornings starting. New pup taking up lots of time though :-)

[@remco19]

Chris Lilley cheers :) i got 5 days of mushing in belgium. Leaving today . cant w8 about 200 people and about 1000 huskys on every kind of stuff squad bikes cars.

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Youre so lucky! In middle of building a new extension for my dad and a new run for the huskies. Would love to do that next year, could bring quad too :-)

[@remco19]

Yeah.. its so fun. Bought new action cam for this. Cant w8 to test it :) now 5 days training camp. To learn trails and stuf and 2 weeks after real races :D

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

I need to join a club. Thats the plan for next year :-)

[@1carlitoz1]

awesome

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Thanks Carl

[@iiiprogressive]

Nice ride

[@shadebinder9969]

Damn this really makes that 2 hour exercise reccomendation clear to me. These dogs can *run* Itd be cool if you had like a phone charger powered by the wheels turning. Litteral husky powered phone. So they ever just stop randomly to smell something like some other dogs poop?

[@ryannelson768]

nice!

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Cheers Ryan!

[@laylac]

That's really impressive. I've never actually thought of attaching my dog to a bike. I would learn how to ride a bike for her, but she can't run that fast so there isn't a need to.

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Great fun though! 😁

[@Mr.Cool628]

yes dude but not all dogs can do it husky created for this that why they do it

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

TheReal ra I never said they could. And you're right! This was what huskies were and are bred for - think that's a widely known fact 😂😂😂😂

[@thedarkmajesty1773]

Chris Lilley They were mainly bred to pull loads of stuff in them and run long distances with the loads. Running is an adaptation, while huskies sole purpose was to travel higher distances with heavy stuff.

[@jeanviloria1988]

I would do this with my husky, I just need a bird in front of him so we can move 💀

[@Maskedimprover]

Dude !!!!! Where u livin?? Im in love with it !!!!!

[@mrfitness7658]

this is so cool man did u train your dogs to do this ? and are u not scared of them running on the wrong side of the road just wondering :D

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

+KacperMuscle its a combination of having a good team and keeping them right. Traffic isn't a real problem here as there are so many racehorse stables, traffic is always usually slow. It is a good adrenaline rush though when they run out following a car after we've waited till its passed.

[@amLinl]

I need this

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

You should try it. Look for mushing groups near you

[@amLinl]

I live in a city where there are not places like the one in the video srly its a beautiful place and i dont have a husky im getting one in like 20 days when he is ready to leave his mom:D

[@amLinl]

+Chris Lilley PD: your TT is awesome

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Lol cheers -fak but you can still do this. There are special urban mushing groups. Chris Woody runs one and he'll have more advice on mushing in an urban environment. I've even done it sitting on a skateboard 😁 great fun!! And good luck with the pup. Hell not be pulling for at least a year but can run with you. Loads of advice on here from really good people.

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Oh and the TT's wifeys. Ive got the 4x4 😒

[@ThiagoOliveira-iv2nx]

How long could they run? I'm a runner, i used to run for over 1 hour, do you think this breed could follow me on my runnings? Amazing video btw, thank you buddy

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

They can trek for hours, but depends on the dog & training. Its in their instinct to pull, so would be an ideal companion & am sure you'll be struggling to keep up with him! Just read up on the breed and make sure you wear a belt & harness - this is not a breed you should let off the lead.

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Check this out - runningwithhuskies.com/ - this could be what your'e looking for! And thanks for the comment :-)

[@GuilhermeLeao07]

Wow! Very impressive! For how long you run with them?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Thanks! We take them out for about 45 mins to an hour depending on the route.

[@sukhdevtiwana]

What happens if they see a rabbit 🐰 rabbit 🐇?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

The dogs go one way and you end up in a tree :-) Have posted some videos showing this lol

[@oneandonlyminecrafte]

I would love to get a husky and run with it everyday. But I'm allergic so that will likely never happen

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Antihistamines? :-)

[@oneandonlyminecrafte]

Chris Lilley well is it strong? Because I'm already using normal allergy medicine and yet I can't even rest my face on a dog or a cat. last time I did, I got red ashes all over and my nose started to get all trashy

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

I'd go along to your doctor & explain the issue. There may be something he could give that would relieve the symptoms to let you go out to see a Husky. I'd also get to see if there are any Huskies locally to you and see how you react to them. My wife has bad allergies but Huskies do not seem to bother her skin/breathing at all, whereas a cat would. Hope you get that mush!

[@oneandonlyminecrafte]

Chris Lilley Alright, thanks for the answer! I can't do it in the near future though since it would have to be alone for too long.

[@heavymetalhuskies9350]

Hi Chris we have a Team in Suffolk, where are you based? What Joring attachment is that? Seems pretty solid! Cheers - Simon

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Heavy Metal Huskies hi - were in upper Lambourn, near Hungerford in west Berkshire. We live by all race horse gallops so have some great runs. It's a pawtrekker scooter so has a pretty solid attachment for them. Just got a new bitch so looking forward to a rig and four dog team.

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Hi there - we are looking to join a team as we'd love to get into racing through an established team? Can you PM me any details so we can catch up? Cheers :-)

[@timecoder9899]

how do they know when to turn left or right?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

You use the commands Gee and Haw - once they know what it means. You can hear the commands on the video.

[@Talanzeus]

Where did you get that attachment for the bike??

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

It's actually part of the scooter - not a bike. It's by Pawtrekker & a brilliant piece of kit :-)

[@rhyshorgan6292]

how did you teach them when to go left nd right, stop and go faster

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

+Rhys Horgan we just start using the commands while out walking or hiking with them. They shouldn't be pulling any weight until a minimum of 1 year old (I wait a bit longer), so gives you plenty of time. It just comes down to time and patience with them. Remember always to reward using your voice when they do it right, but don't tell them off if they do anything wring. Repeat the action with them to do it right and then reward. You'll get there :-)

[@mckaylacrocker3319]

How did you train them so well? I'm getting a Alaskan Husky and would like to train him as you have you're dogs!

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Thanks for the comment, appreciated. As I've said to others, just get him used to your commands e.g. 'Gee and Haw'. When you're out walking, use these commands to change direction etc. so he gets used to them & knows what to do. As its a sled dog, you'll find a lot is instinctive. Its us owners who need the training :-) Give me a shout of you've any questions; happy to help.

[@mckaylacrocker3319]

Thanks! I can't wait!

[@andrewbelyaev7466]

are you driving a bike or they pulled and the bike go ?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Hevi Ibrahim hi, as we are on scooters the dogs are pulling. If you watch the video it's fairly obvious they are pulling under command.

[@robertmuraru2529]

Can u do this with 1 dog?

[@yannisatebre8751]

Why were they fighting in the beginning

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Thats just excitement, not fighting. If you watch any huskies before a mush, they will be jumping around raring to go and nipping each other with the howling :-)

[@stephaniemathias2343]

wow that's awesome! how long do you run them?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Thanks - they usually get run for around 5km on that circuit.

[@stephaniemathias2343]

Chris Lilley that is amazing where is this? I'm in Pennsylvania USA and we don't have anything like this where I am, I wish we did though

[@stephaniemathias2343]

Chris Lilley also how did you train them? Must have been alot of work!

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Stephanie Mathias we stay in a small village in England called Upper Lambourn. We are surrounded by racehorses so take advantage of the gallops 😁

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Stephanie Mathias just lots of hard work and learning myself. Commands are used during walks and hikes so they get used to them. Pulling is just instinct 😁

[@nouraelmoghazy8988]

were you peddling? it looked like they were pulling you :D

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

We use Pawtrekker scooters so there are no pedals. All husky power :-)

[@Nocturne33]

how did you make them do that?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Training, making it fun and a big heap of their instinct to just pull! If you spend time with them getting them used to the commands, and work up to them pulling, you'll end up with a pack ready to go! The other thing is to always keep it safe, and foremost their health. You'll have lots of fun with them if you do :-)

[@Nocturne33]

Chris Lilley oh I want to get just one husky and I thought maybe he can pull me on my bike. But thanks

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

If you look at Bikejoring, this is suited for 1 dog and works with your bike - have a look here; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikejoring

[@alexhuxley4399]

Huskies have to move. Man, they must be some tired pups at night. Raw diet?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

No, Huskies get a special high protein, grain free diet with a fresh roast chicken. They do get plenty of raw fresh bones too.

[@alexhuxley4399]

Thanks Chris. Beautiful dogs. Always chatty.

could you think a husky could also be happy by just running next to his owner for like half an hour a day ?

[@ChrisLilleymaccsiccar]

Good question - of course he would! As long as he's with you and out enjoying himself, he'll be happy as Larry. If it's a husky I would look at cana-cross setup so he's secure & there are no 'recall' mishaps :-) Huskies have it in their blood to pull & love it - they'll get just as excited at the prospect of going out for a run! Hope that helps

No worries Max - just enjoy your furbaby! As long as you're both happy, thats the main thing! :-)
