MUSH!!

Have you ever thought that being pulled along by a team of sleddogs in the wilderness or running cross country, harnessed to your canine best friend would be a ‘pawsome’ way to keep fit for you and your family??? TASSI (Tasmanian Association of Sleddog Sports Inc) are a family friendly club who keep fit by doing just this!

TASSI are holding a Season Opener Bootcamp this month for both current and interested members to be held in the Huon Valley (Southern Tasmania).

The overnight bootcamp will cover topics such as; driver education, directional commands, lead-dog training, safety discussions, equipment, race rules.
