Sled dog gear and equipment

Sled dog gear includes essential equipment to ensure safety and efficiency during sled pulls. Key items are harnesses that fit snugly around the dogs' bodies, allowing them to pull the sled without injury. A gangline connects the team, guiding their movement, while leaders and rest line clips help organize the team. Booties protect paws from harsh terrain, and specialized collars prevent chafing. Additional gear like sled runners, snow hooks, and driver accessories assist in maneuvering and safety. Properly fitted and maintained equipment is vital for the dogs’ well-being and performance during training and racing.
