The origin of the Cani Randonnée
Practiced by the nomadic tribes of the Far North in the summer, it developed in Sweden, then in France as a leisure activity.
It is both an alternative to the sled during periods when there is a lack of snow but also a way to keep in shape sled dogs who need to move all year round.
The principle
This is a hike where you are helped by a dog. A cushioned lanyard connects the dog and the hiker. The latter is equipped with a padded belt or a harness to absorb shocks. Everything is done by voice and the hiker never pulls on the lanyard. “Oh”, “slow”, “right”, “left”…, orders direct the dog during the walk.
The benefits
They are the same as those for hiking but the climb uphill is made easier by the animal. Children learn patience and respect for the dog. This activity is strongly recommended for adults and children with hyperactive tendencies. The animal helps you find peace and refocus on yourself.
A souvenir photo break is planned during the activity. The outing ends with a time to discuss the participants' feelings as well as a final tender moment with the dogs.
