Dog Sledding with NO Snow! Dryland Mushing with the Diggler Scooter! Urban Mushing!

Can you go dog sledding with no snow? Of course you can! We call this Dryland Mushing, and our huskies love it! Today we are going to show you how to use the Diggler Dog Scooter to have some fun mushing with your dog with no snow! You can also do this with a bike!
We use the Diggler Scooter. We have the Alpha Dog Scooter. UPDATE: Sadly, Diggler Dog Scooters went out of business a few years ago. If you are looking for a Dog Scooter, I advise you check out Pawtrecker or Gravity Scooters.

[@Celineylovesyou]

After your recommendation, I bought the urban harness for my dog! He's not a mushing dog (Shiba Inu), but I really like how the harness is designed. It's great just for walks and jogging, and I feel better knowing his neck is safe from injury since he's still crazy sometimes and pulls sometimes and gets zoomies. The urban harness also leaves a lot of room for free shoulder movement too, which I liked a lot.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Celine Yang I LOVE it for many things!

[@HotChoccyWoccyYT]

Gone to the Snow Dogs where can I find this harness please?

[@nadineschommer9775]

I always just went on my rollerblades. Smokey's passed on now, but he used to pull me all around town like that. It was so much fun!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Nadine Schommer Awesome!

[@duckie1494]

The girls look like they were having a blast and free(ish). They also looked powerful running that fast.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Martha Smith Oh they are!

[@davecerv]

It's one if my dreams to be able to do this with my husky boy! He's only 10 months old at the moment but thus gives me time to look for the gear needed.

[@meeyang6498]

hlub

[@emmapark7002]

see what u mean about it being fast,wow jess,your a brave lady xthank you

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Emma Park It's very fast. . and this wasn't even the straight away from the Jeep shot. . My breaks make noise, (gotta fix that), and I was on them the ENTIRE beginning of the run. . . . . they were even FASTER then. . heheh I will get more videos of this. . .

[@remyche8768]

I do this on my Longboard with my armstaffs. They love it! I might have to teach them those commands 😂 they just run straight flat out

[@peterzelaya9948]

On a long board? How do you stop?

[@raquelcervantes3332]

Gone to the snow dogs I need help. I live in Oregon and I'm thinking of getting a puppy husky and do you know where I can get one from a trustworthy owner or breeder? Please respond

[@jakobbowermangillbert7929]

+rachel cervantes shelter, I'm meeting a German shepherd this weekend and I'm psyched

[@rsmartus]

+rachel cervantes Go to Siberian Husky Club of America and click on referrals/breeders and you will find a reputable breeder. In addition before you go out and get a Husky make sure you do your research in this breed and you are able to provide the mental and physical stimulation it needs to thrive. They are a lot of work and are a very intelligent and challenging breed.

[@Grace-ei9yi]

Gone to the Snow Dogs how did yo teach the dogs "wo/slow down"

[@Kryptkid4.]

You guys do amazing videos. I love to see your dogs running and playing all around the place.

[@whitefang7620]

I love that thing it's so AWESOME!!!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+wolf fang We love it!

[@whitefang7620]

+Gone to the Snow Dogs your welcome:-P

[@whitefang7620]

+Gone to the Snow Dogs it's like half scooter half bike and half sled

[@ZeraFalconer]

Awesome!!!!!! I bikejor with my dog and it is SO MUCH FUN!!! Unfortunately, not many people in my area really get out or be active, and there are NO dog friendly trails around, so we have to settle for the back roads and big farm fields, but we still love joring! I also really like Canicross and agility. During the winter, I walk people's dogs for them and Remi comes with me. We haven't gone hiking or camping yet, but hopefully in a few weeks we can get out and about! During the summer, Remi and I do mostly just long walks and jogs and Springering through town. I think it's awesome that you guys have trails and areas around you that are dog-friendly and get to go on good long runs!

[@Aedony]

+Zera Falconer I don't have good areas to do that either. I don't even have a car/licence so I'm unfortunately very limited on what to do with my german shorthaired pointer (and they have a ton of energy too). I got a bike springer now, that's a little more save in town and people crossing our path aren't as afraid as when the dog is in front of the bike. But my plan for next year is getting a car/license and then we explore the country side!

[@familywith8sibes101]

Oh, this looks like SO MUCH FUN! Going to look into this for my dogs.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Tanya Brown (Girlwhuskiesnlabs) It's great fun!

[@emk3234]

That's so awesome!

[@tonkathemalamute]

This is Awesome!!! I would LOVE to do this with Tonka!!!!!

[@danielduanetv]

Wahhhht that would be so much fun!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Daniel Duane Oh it's WAY fun!

[@swiggs324]

THAT IS THE COOLEST THING IVE NEVER SEEN!!!!!!!!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Swiggs Aww Thanks!

[@3698s]

Great to see Oakley having fun with Shelby & Memphis. She looks happyand enjoying the summer.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+3698s They sure are!

[@sushiandrunt]

so cool

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Sushi and Runt It's massive fun!

[@laurynziebartl-2559]

Awesome!! I live in Florida so no snow for my pups! This is defiantly something I'm considering. ☺️

[@Grace-ei9yi]

that looks like soooooooooo much fun

[@virginiakilgore2671]

[@ashleycabrera616]

Thanks for the video! Can you please link any videos you have on learning to use the sledding commands and teaching the husky to pull for the first time? Thanks! I love your dogs!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Ashley Lloyd Here you go kzbin.info/aero/PLJDUJ0KSc2DhqadkTt_T1DJ1UI5iCmXUm

[@luciadoble8297]

Those two are the dream team

[@SuperPlaned]

Hi yes we do horses joering style plus ridden stuff loads vids on channel and facebook page - myself my english bull terrier tows offroad skateboards/mountain boards - same The AKA cross - ok board has braking system - i remove rear foot bindings as makes it easier to plus start board and get foot down for balance

[@ZombieKillerMelody]

I live in Southern California, so it was hard to keep my husky active year round without him overheating. I found the best thing for him in such a hot climate was to have him pull me on roller skates every morning before the sun came up, or after it went down. It's super crazy to go 25 mph on rollerskates in the dark though!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Melody Rain That's a good idea too!

[@mayamachine]

i started using noodles years ago having come up with it on my own,, i run my lines through pipe insulation wrapped in duct tape

[@apiffanyfulcher6628]

WOW that’s looks awesome!!

[@dantasticdoingstuff6025]

I am new to pulling and found alpine outfitters. They were great. Helped me as a novice

[@BRMBug]

Aww, I love seeing Oakley run & chase the other girls. Omg, that harness has more fur on it than Shelby has on herself! lol.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+BRMBug heheh Yeah. . . .

[@Carriesue1982]

We don't get snow period where I live so I'd planned to bikejore with my GSD's once my female is old enough, she is a working line with tons of energy I think she will love it. Can't wait!

[@Carriesue1982]

Btw I grew up in Michigan, your videos make me so homesick lol!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Carrie Krepps I think you will have a blast!

[@jennifersworld8737]

love Oakley shelby and Memphis !!!! and princess Shiloh and Nora

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Jessica Rauscher heheheh

[@loidamadera3733]

Cool guys love you bogs.

[@kimberleywood4156]

I just used a leash and a harness with a off road scooter with my English pointer

[@luccamiky]

This vid was very informative , for someone like myself who is new to Urban Mushing and looking for info. I have 2 Huskies who will ty!

[@lauramoreno1238]

I have been wanting to bike with my husky now that she is old enough, but was not sure what I needed to use to do so safely.. thanks so much for sharing....sadly were I live in Piedmont NC we barely get a couple inches of snow a year :( so I thought biking with my girl would be a nice alternative.

[@partyandfunnelgaming1557]

I live in Raleigh we get a lot of snow for here also it should snow here again I'm happy because my puppy well have her first snow

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Laura Moreno This is an amazing alternative! And all of the equipment works for the bike also!

[@keithbates598]

Fun, powerful Snowdogs, Oakley, Shelby and Memphis. Joan and Keith Bates

[@Pitbullgirl-sv5vp]

I all was wotch your shows all the time at my house or at my cusen's house to yall are awesome I love all of your dog's Memphis , Shelby, Oakley they are so cute sweet and cool

[@lukegriffin2046]

can you do a video on what terms you use when sledding as i would love to do this

[@emilybobify]

+Luke Griffin Go to 00:58 in the video. She goes over all of the terms. However, I agree, I would love a more in depth video about the terms and everything, but maybe that would be hard to do. I've sent them a message before, but never got a reply. If there is a video that explains everything more in depth, then I have yet to find it.

[@thedangersofoxygen135]

This makes so much more sense than trying to ride a bike to me

[@SemSonoNoites]

Hi! I have a question for ya. My husband and I are looking into scootering and bikejoring with our huskies in the near future. We were wondering if while were training them how, if you think a normal scooter would work? Something like the Razor A5 Lux, maybe. Thanks :D

[@emmyennit]

Still stuck to your channel looking for more vids! Lol ;) I'm your biggest fan EVER!!!!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Emilymay 2806 Arooooo

[@dulceseren]

Thank you for the video. I am wondering why do you use the urban harness instead of the xback harness?

[@kylieirlam7620]

I’m doing some this similar to the cart but I’m making a horse chariot but I will use a dog to pull it

[@kylereynolds4431]

Looking to get into Bike Joring with my 2 y/o Husky. Would you still recommend alpine outfitters? I've been working on commands for almost a year so I think she has a handle on them now to the point where its time to let her run a little.

[@Footlicker05]

I take my dogs hunting and herding through the whole year :3

[@staceezillmann4618]

Love the idea I'm going to try with my husky Harlie!! Question whens too late to do obedience training with a husky

[@jackory1114]

+Stacee Zillmann Never. You should start when you can. :P With my dog, I taught him turns by going in that direction and saying a command whenever we went on walks. So if we're going to turn a corner, I'd say "Gee" for right, and "Haw" for left, and I'd take him in that direction. If your dog has any idea what you're going on about, he should learn that pretty quickly. And pretty soon, you can say "Gee" or "Haw" and maybe he'll turn in that direction. I also added a few of my own made-up commands like "Cross" to go across a street because I don't want my dog randomly crossing into traffic (regardless of how active/inactive the street is), and "Straight on" to ignore the side paths and keep going. Hope you have fun 'joring with your dog. :P

[@staceezillmann4618]

+jackory1114 Thanks . By the time she had all her needles and got fixed up "apparently" she was too old for puppy preschool which doesn't make any sense cos they can't be around other dogs before their needles??? so she knows the basics like sit and and shakes with both paws and lays down when's shes paying attention lol and when we walk when I pull up on the lead and harness I say sit and it's starting to work

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Stacee Zillmann It's never to late! We have even trained Oakley things!

[@staceezillmann4618]

+Gone to the Snow Dogs Thanks I guess its hard because she's still a pup (she 6 months and a ratbag)

[@macshock632]

Hi, cool, how long do you recommend the bungee line to be?

[@zivadvornik]

2,8 is the best length for scootering:)

[@jisun1785]

I liked to put my dog in my backpack (he's a shih tzu) and we would bike around together. He loved it

[@Msweetmary]

Cool! :)

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Mary Gibson Thanks!

[@Msweetmary]

+Gone to the Snow Dogs You're welcome

[@roderickthecool3762]

cool

[@tinaersson5835]

When I watched this video, a older video from late 2012 was recommended. It was when Shiloh still was on this earth (she was sooo beautiful!!) and you talked about the cost of owning a dog and the very last thing you said was that you were thinking of getting pet insuranse. Have you gotten that now? I live in Sweden and have two siberian huskies, that have insuranse and it have saved us from a lot of large bills!

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Tina Selin We do not have pet insurance. Instead we have a special account set up for the dogs. Since we do make some money off of making these videos, and the occasional partnership with a company, we take a large chunk and put it into that account. That way, if something does happen, we have a bit of a cushion for the dogs bills. We also have a camping fund account and we put some of the money in there so we can take the dogs on more adventures! Pet insurance was going to cost us around $200 a month for all 3 girls. . and considering they do not go to the vet that often. . in 6 months. . we can save $1,200 on our own. . . so we went that route.

[@horsesandpotterheads3041]

I got your merch!! The one with the Animation of all of your 🐕

[@savannahp4651]

I am going to do that with my dogs!!!!!:) I also do biking with my dogs because of you!!!!! We live in Tacoma Washington so we don't get much snow, so I'm going to do that instead of sledding!!!!! Again if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have done biking, and soon that, with my dogs!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! :) My dogs say thank you to!!!!! :)

[@kayleighdrouin6378]

i live just on the other side of the narrows. i urban mush my lab mix and bulldogge with a bike. having the ability to pedel is nice. especially with all of our hills

[@vortex21jw]

hey jess i was wondering hpw you trained your dogs for mushing? my lil pup isnt old enough for it yet but when i take him for walks hes contantly sniffing about and im worried if i took him mushing or for a run while im on my skateboard im gonna run into him if he stops suddenly. please reply and i love your videos!!!

[@jackory1114]

+Vortex DnB I started teaching my dog mush commands while we were on walks. If we were turning left, I'd say "Haw"; and if we were turning right, I'd say "Gee". If he stops and I want him to keep going, I'd keep going and say "On By" and then just make him keep going. You could also just replace those commands with your own words, whatever is easier for you to use.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Vortex DnB I started teaching them commands while walking, when I had control of them. I think I am going to finally make a video on this.

[@vortex21jw]

please do! id be very interested in seeing it so i can teach my little memphis it from a young age so its almost ingrained into him. also another question as its just happened, how do you stop a dog begging for YOUR food while eating? hes not to bad with me as i never give him anything and im stern with him but my parents seem to have problems with him whining and barking at them

[@audra478]

I take my husky biking, jogging, need to do roller skating with him again. he will be a year old this winter so we are going to try a sled this year.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Audra Zacarias Oh fun!

[@Marilynrdz14]

Hey i wanted to ask. Do you have any trouble with Oakley,shelby, and Memphis? Justo wanted to know :)

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+Marilynrdz14 Trouble how?

[@user-re6yj7gt6i]

How is the "bycicle" called? I wish to get one for two huskies

[@kamiwilson3615]

Why do you not use the cross line harness? What's the benefit of using an urban mushing one? Asking for samoyed use.

[@miatreadwell1874]

Can I use a normal scooter and a long lead

[@vickiemcconathy1037]

FYI - Rob, the owner of Diggler Dog Scooters has opened a new business called Sprocket Dog Scooters. Also, for those who have Diggler Scooters, he still sells parts for those scooters.

[@stuartthomas3105]

Hi Loce thos vid. Can you control your dogs. I.e. left and right? As my dog might want to goo and run after a rabbit :)

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

Yes, I can control the dogs, left and right.

[@astrofenn7506]

So we know it's good exercise for the dogs but what does it do for the RIDER? Looks like keeping upright at those speeds does some good for the core muscles.

[@sweethuskytreats6791]

How do you train them to follow the commands when they are running like that? We would love to do that with our girls, they are almost a year old now (October).

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

+sweet husky treats I hope to do a video on this

[@luciadoble8297]

I do mushing in competitions with 2 Huskies, Yana and Hawk. I race on a rig and it is fun and more stable. On a rig, you can have upto 9 huskies

[@CoryAstral]

where can you get the scooter?

[@anthonyprochaska7973]

The site to get the diggler is down? Are there any other places to get one?

[@KDOGG331]

[@supersoldier777]

I have been looking for a way to exercise my Catahoula leapord dog. We live in Florida so there is never any snow. Lol. Thank you.

[@_Huzkyo]

Thanks for the tips and website to buy the equipment. Surprisingly cheap store.

[@paulrothenburg1945]

I use roller blades with my husky and believe me he can pull like a train. So important that people never run the huskys near roads. Prey instinct can strike at any time. My Togo launched me into gravel when he see a squirrel in the park Lol. Keep up the awesome work Jessica you an insperation to husky owners. 😀

[@arkoraa]

Can you make a video to show how to put a harness on? It's almost impossible to put one on mine :(

[@animalobsessed1]

I know people say you need a scooter specially designed for dogs because other scooters don't have strong enough breaks. I've been inline skating with my dog for a few years and she listens perfectly when I tell her to slow down or stop. In the beginning there have been situations where she wanted to chase after things and I was easily able to stop her by turning sideways. Is it a smart idea to first try with a normal, cheap children's scooter to see if I even like it enough to be worth the money for a proper one, or will a small scooter not be able to do the job?

[@RobiPerk0125]

I can do this with a bicycle or scooter? A regular scooter?

[@emalierobson8473]

Are there hard to handle on a sled? I've never taken my dogs to a sled and actually sled on a mountain or snow but the mountain wouldn't have any rocks on it what that's impossible to find

[@Kat-ql7mt]

I tried buying from the Alpine Outfitters website, and it didn't seem to quite work. Do you have any other suggestions? (Preferably under 40$ because I'm cheap, but if there isn't thats okay!)

[@Dyils]

Is this allowed on roads? And in the UK?

[@MrSaleen0208]

Do you have any videos teaching a young Huskie to pull.

[@GoneToTheSnowDogs]

You don't want to really start any pulling until they are over a year, and you really don't want to work work them until they are 2.

[@rsmartus]

Hi I have been trying to inquire about the urban mushing and where to purchase one of these scooters and I cannot find them. Can you help guide met n the right direction? Apparently Digglerstore.com no longer exists!!

[@1972Russianwolf]
