Join the fun!
Give us a dog that wants to work and its human that wants to go for a ride and we’ll harness that energy!
Our club trains dogs, mentors dog-loving people, and gets the human-canine team rigged up for dog-powered sports of all kinds – sledding, skijoring, bikejoring, mountain scootering, urban mushing, canicross and more.
Whether it’s a one dog-one human team or a dog lover with a pack of mutts - the CSDC is an inclusive club.
