The starting commotion of motivated dogs longing for a order that will release that pile of hormones. Short look at the opponent and then just full steam ahead... A mass start is a very attractive for spectator and the easiest way for the organizers to start all the competitors at once. It doesn't have to be such a chart for racers and especially for their dogs. Content: What is mass start? Jak vypadají tuzemské hromadné starty? Proč by se měla dodržovat pravidla hromadného startu? Pravidla pro hromadný start (závodník) Jak dnešní hromadné starty vypadají? Jak natrénovat hromadný start? Jak by měl hromadný start vypadat? The purpose of the article is not to address specific situations that have flown through the Internet. The reason is to point out the possible risks of a mass start, which is incorrectly prepared. What is a mass start? Definition according to IFSS (International Federation of Sleddog Sports racing rules) All participants in the same class start at the same starting line at the same time. If not everyone fits the line, the racing marshal (judge) will set more starting lines. The starting area must have one starting track for each team. The spacing between the tracks should be approximately 2 meters. The length of the starting tracks should be approximately 80 meters and end at the marked line. There must be at least 10 meters between each starting line, the distance must be adapted to the size of the teams. For a better imagination I enclose the visualization. A total of 15 teams will start in 3 rows of 5 teams. It is clear from the previous text that almost no race organizer respects or may not even know the rules of this start. This does not mean that they do it wrong, they only place greater demands on the dog's readiness. What do mass starts look like? In best case a group of competitors rushes to a wide meadow where the starting line is indicated. Where the competitor will stand is given only by self-reflection. No one solves spacings, corridors and rows. In the worst case, the competitors are driven into a narrow corridor, where they often do not have even half a meter of space between them. With the start signal, the whole start corridor usually sets off towards an uncertain fate. Contact, entanglement, aggression and falls are quite common. Why should the rules of mass start be followed? Canicross is by its nature a non-contact sport and its rules are written in this spirit. A mass start should not disadvantage any team and at the same time should provide enough space for a safe start to the track. Some starts are poorly prepared from the ground up and the risk of conflict is high. Conflict such as attacking at the start, tangling and the like is therefore partly the fault of the organizer and his non-compliance with the minimum requirements for a mass start. The dog and the competitor should not suffer because his opponent failed to start and caused them harm, whether mental, physical or just a loss of time. Rules for mass start (competitor) IFSS rules saids If a mass start is organized, all competitors with dogs must wait together behind the starting line. Racer must hold his dog by the collar or harness. If not everyone can stay in one row, the race marshal will set more rows as needed. Translated into common language, every competitor, including the dog, must stand in front of the starting line. Racer holds the dog briefly by the harness or collar. What do today's mass starts look like? Any intervention, even if friendly, is undesirable. However, the local unwritten rule tolerates everything except splitting / biting and the associated contact, which is only a distortion of the rules. At the same time, interventions are tolerated where the dog tries to attack, but fails to complete it. Incentives to play and other non-aggressive contacts are also tolerated. All this is contrary to the official rules, which are based on the philosophy that canicross is not a contact sport. How to train a mass start? There are as many ways as there are competitors at the starting line. In general, a mass start should be learned by a dog that already has a high value for moving forward. Exactly how you train you can't generalize. Each dog needs a different approach, but a few general recommendations can be applied. However, do not be afraid to contact professional dog trainers. General lessons A reactive dog that immediately turns against other dogs and is easily drawn to aggressive reactions should learn to start with dogs that do not suffer from the same problem as him. They should start at a distance where there is no reaction. Over time, the distance decreases over a number of weeks. (It is ideal to consult the training not only with the sports trainer, but especially with experienced dog trainers.) Fear reaction, the procedure is the same as for reactive dogs, we work with distance. It is important to identify the trigger of the reaction. Is it noise? Is it a violation of the personal zone? It is impossible to proceed without a known cause. Again, I recommend contacting a dog trainer and also a sports trainer. What should a mass start look like? At the start signal, your dog will move forward regardless of other dogs and noise. He won't let himself be drawn into a fight, he won't cross the corridor. Each competitor stands at the starting line and has enough space on both sides, 80 meters of his corridor in front of him, 10 meters of space behind him without other pushing dogs. That it is no longer a classic mass start? Yes, it is definitely not a classic mass start, it is safe and coming out of it at the head of the group does not mean not getting tangled, having sharp elbows and a dog that can withstand tingling. Conclusion Each organizer can determine their own rules of the race. If its rules do not regulate the behavior at a mass start, then it is not possible to require competitors and their dogs to behave fairly. Until the competitors themselves demand rules from the organizers, it is always up to each of us how it starts.

Content: Why prepare a dog before the race? What to prepare the dog for - condition What to prepare the dog for - situation Which dog does not belong to the races? What equipment does not belong in the races? Introduction We all already know how to behave at the race with our dog. If not, here are some tips. So what about the preparation of the dog before the race? If you're groping here, I'll come up with some tips on what to look out for. The article is not a detailed guide on how to prepare, but contains general tips and links to detailed articles. Many beginner participants go to the race blindly. They bet with a friend, get in the car and go overcome. This is exactly the type of racer you do not want to meet on the track. If you come up with something similar, believe me, it's not a good idea. Why prepare a dog before the race? Every race has its own rules, whether written or unwritten, but generally known. No one learned has fallen from heaven, so there is no shame in whistling everything. It is good to prepare the dog in advance for situations that may arise. You will save yourself, as well as other competitors any complications or protests. What to prepare the dog for - condition Overcoming yourself is respectable, but remember that you are not alone in it. Your dog is pulling you! He will be less interested of your overcoming than you and your loved ones, so you should be fair and prepare yourself and your dog physically. I don't know a sadder look than when I'm overtaking a team on a gentle slope, where the runner / walker loses consciousness and his dog partner is worse off, because it all has to pull. How to prepare a dog? Here is a list of articles I have written on this topic The basic condition of a dog, how to build it The content of the article is an explanation of the concept of basic condition. The need for this type of training is indisputable for a dog. Many problems with motivation for the move often stem from your dog's poor condition. How to work with temperatures in training. This article delves into the theory of working with temperature in training. This is already bit of science, but if you want your dog to give top performances, you will not avoid this laboratory work, at least at the elementary level. Overheating and cooling the dog related to a previous article on working with temperatures. Dogs have a specific cooling process and overheating is very problematic and unfortunately common. The tendency is also closely related to the physical condition of the dog. Interval training for a dog It is one of the methods to conduct dog training. It is applicable to both canicross and other disciplines. Interval training is not the only way to prepare the dog, however it is more demanding on the handler's abilities. What to prepare the dog for - situation Seriously, nothing should surprise me in the time I'm racing or running, but the opposite is true. Sometimes a situation arises that I would not invent, so it is good to prepare not much. I dealt with the situations on the track and the liquidation of my own dog in the article below. Betrayed musher dog describes, among other things, how big a problem is aggression on the track. The article contains a list of everything you can do to "spoil" your dog What your dog should be able to do? Directional commands - Being able to turn on command is a basic skill that probably doesn't need to be discussed. It is good to teach the dog to run from one side of the road to the other. This requires a bit of practice, but in the final you will appreciate it especially when overtaking. Slow down on command - Wondering why? Canicross runs to the fullest, but sometimes the force of the move is to the detriment. Especially in a situation where you have a heavy and strong dog and a sharp descent appears in front of you. Then you are grateful for the command that will relieve you of suffering. Dog should be obedient -Prepare it for a large number of dogs, for noise and chaos, for possible manipulation (weighing, chip loading, soaking the fur before the start) Serene and confident - Many situations can drive weaker characters into a corner. Manipulation, mental pressure during physical performance and sleep deprivation. It can also be mushing and the dog should be well prepared for it. What should a dog not do? Attacking other dogs- Any aggression on the track or in the race area is punishable by disqualification. Attacking other people - Aggression against people can also be a reason for disqualification. Which dog does not belong to the races? Dogs overweight can be perceived as cute. Dog obesity is often excused as a result of age or castration. Whatever it is caused by, it is a sign of very low dog condition. Give such a dog a few more weeks of preparation until it it loses weight. Weight reduction in a dog is much easier than in humans :-) Sick and injured dogs definitely do not belong to races. Physical performance combined with stress can make things worse. On the other hand, you can infect other dogs and it definitely does not belong to mushing races. Let the dog take care and heal his injuries. Dog ears docking or otherwise an unlawfully modified dog does not belong to any dog ​​competitions. 100% restriction is the only way to prevent similar practices. What equipment does not belong in the races? Leave the electric collar or barbed / spiked collar at home. All "training" aids that cause pain to the dog do not belong to the race. The dog muzzle, although tolerated by some races, it is forbidden on the track during the race by the race rules. The dog can wear it off the track. The Internet is full of discussion, but the rules are clear. If your dog can overtake without contact, the muzzle is useless. In addition, the muzzle makes it difficult to breathe freely and thus significantly increases the risk of the dog overheating. Conclusion To sum it up in a few lines, your dog should be healthy, in good physical and mental condition, obedient and non-aggressive towards dogs and people. Do you have personal experience with any topic in the article? I will be happy for your comments right here on the blog. Share, like and comment to the blog below...

introduction The popularity of individual mushing disciplines and the large influx of new faces into the sport raise concerns about how it will be in compliance with the rules of the sport and the racing rules. The rules should not be the prerogative of licensed competitors, but of course for all race organizers and anyone who stands at the start with their dog. In addition to the racing rules, which you will find in the link at the end of the article, we have decided to write many useful tips gained through years of experience as a competitor, but also a race organizer. It is not only about my experience, I will also describe the shared know-how of the members Musher klubu MK JCC.z.s. This manual is aimed primarily at beginners and intermediate competitors. Many current races are only partially or not governed by the ČASS (Czech Sleddog Sports Association) racing rules. Let us realize that not only the organizers of the races, but especially the competitors themselves significantly influence the quality of the given race and in a way participate in the development of the sport as such. Therefore, the goal should be to educate all of us and thus strive to develop sport in the right direction. Content: I want to race - how to choose a race? Arrival at the race / acceptance / tour of the track Follow the instructions of the organizer and helpers at the race Preparing to start In the race Finish and behavior after the run Results announcement Conclusion and links I want to race - how to choose a race? Many of us participate in the race, both as a competitor and as an observer, and the so-called "dog holder" as known as dog handler. We all have a duty to behave in accordance with the rules and regulations throughout the race. When choosing races, look for references from other competitors. Very often they have interesting comments. The safety and health of your dog is the most important thing. Therefore, we do not recommend races in the summer with a start in high temperatures. Even a guarantee of enough water at the start and finish will not prevent the dog from overheating. Experienced organizers have a shortened track in reserve in case of warm weather and other tools to reduce the risk to dogs' health. Many races do not hide the fact that their target group is just beginners. Please take into account the high concentration of inexperienced dogs and handlers and thus the increased risk of complications. This can lead to a paradox where a race for beginning athletes is the least suitable for them. Official races organized by registred musher clubs are not just for elite athletes. On the contrary, beginners are welcome here, regardless of the size of the dog. the most you will learn here is usually by observing other athletes. Always consider your dog's abilities. Track length, temperature and track profile should not be anything you are not prepared for. Arrival at the race / acceptance / tour of the track Our sport quite often requires a sacrifice in the form of your comfort. This is doubly true for races. The propositions almost always state the time required for the acceptance / presence of the competitors. That is why we go to the race to catch up with the acceptance in time. This will significantly save us such complications as a long queue 10 minutes before the end of the inspection and a huge group of roaring and attacking dogs at the inspection site. From personal experience, we highly recommend driving the day before and spending the night in the adjacent camp / boarding house or under a tent. This will help acclimatize you and your dog. All you need for the acceptance is a vaccination card, still filled in for official races "Chip list" Leave the dog in the car or at the stake-out before you go for inspection. If this is not possible, entrust it to the care of someone who will not go for the acceptance. If you have no choice but to take the dog, then try to shorten the stay among other dogs as much as possible. You will save him unnecessary stress in the form of a queue of roaring dogs, whose owners often do not respect their comfort and needs. We take the dog for acceptance only if the organizer directly requests it or if a veterinary inspection / acceptance of dogs is performed before the race. If you arrive on time, you can choose parking near the start and in the shade. Make plenty of time to walk the track and keep your dogs on the leash at all times! Some competitors ride the route before the race with a dog and there is no worse collision than with a dog without leash. Check the route markings and identify potentially dangerous sections. Adjust your time with the time of the starter / organizer. This time is commanding and your sleepy start is your fault. View the starting point and finish and prepare your start and finish and subsequent activities at the finish of the race. This will prevent confusion and mistakes. Follow the instructions of the organizer and helpers at the race Each race organizer will always specify the specific rules for their race in the propositions. No matter how meaningless these rules are or in conflict with the race rules, they have their justification. You, as a competitor who registers for the race, have a duty to know these rules and, most importantly, to follow them! Preparing to start In recent years, the interval form of a start with a time interval has been a frequent way of starting. Always be ready with your dog on time at the start point with the start number and chip attached. (Timely means at least 5-10 minutes before the start.) Always follow the organizer's instructions at the start. Keep your dog under control and keep it short so that he cannot contact other dogs unnecessarily and vice versa. If you can wait for the start in the shade, use this option, it safe your dogs energy. Start When you are already at the starting line and waiting for your starting time, we recommend the following: Always keep your dog short and in control. When starting on a scooter or bicycle, it is better to have one helper to keep the dog at the start. Stay focused to yourself and your dog. In the orher hand also keep track of what is happening in front of you and behind you. Knowledge of the opponent and the behavior of his dog can help you evaluate the situation on the track. Try to keep in touch with the organizer responsible for starting the competitors. At least eye-contact is important. In the case of a mass start, choose carefully where you stand. Be objective to your abilities and the abilities of your dog. Not everyone has to stand in the first wave of a mass start. At a mass start, keep the dog short for as long as necessary. Keeping your dog under control until a bunch of dogs and runners is torn apart. Once you have run out, remember that the race is won at the finish, not at the start! In the race Now it's up to you and your dog. However, even in this situation, there are some tips that can help you a lot: Follow the track in front of you, but also behind you, so that you have an overview of the upcoming faster team. In the event that someone overtakes you, it is your responsibility to immediately allow this team to overtake smoothly, even at the cost of having to stop and clear the track yourself. We recommend that you pay more attention and watch over your dog so that you are able to respond to the situation. When you overtake your opponent, always make sure that your dog does not contact the dog of the overtaken opponent in any way. Always indicate when overtaking that you intend to overtake. Make sure your opponent and his dog know about you. It is common practice and decency to report the side from which you intend to overtake your opponent. Basic comand / signal for overtaking is "Track" or "Trail" Calm your ambitions and overtake only in places where it is safe for you and your dog, as well as for the opponent and his dog. Consideration and self-reflection are always in place Finish and behavior after the run We all know what euphoria, pain, joy and confusion can occur in the finish. Here are some tips to keep in mind: Never, NEVER and NEVER again, drag your dog to the finish line. If he no longer has enough strength, run at a parallel pace. You already know the finish place, so you know where the water is, where you drop the chip. Do not stay at the finish line longer than necessary and free up space for other competitors. Take your dog away immediately or make sure he is taken to a quiet place. Here he can breathe in peace, relax and prepared fresh water. As soon as the dog is properly cared for, ie it is calm, well-trotted, watered and ready to rest, then immediately put it in the car or in a place where it can rest calmly and undisturbed. Do not drag your dog with you in the race area and give him peace! All actions associated with taking care of your dog should take absolute precedence over your personal needs! Waiting for the announcement of results and the ceremonial itself It may sound ridiculous, but this part of the race has its unwritten rules. If you are going to complain about the behavior of a competitor, now is the time. The organizer is no longer obliged to deal with your later protests on Facebook. Is your time wrongly measured ? Notify the organizer immediately. However, the rule is that the organizer and his timekeeper are always right and it is up to them to assess your complaint. Let your dog rest and don't drag him out unnecessarily unless you have a podium. If you still insist on a photo with your dog from the podium, then try to keep your dog out of the action and calm as much as possible. Conclusion Don't be ashamed to ask the more experienced and don't be afraid to contradict and discuss their claims with them. More experienced competitors have already built their own rituals, which may conflict with this brief manual. However, this does not mean that the manual or the competitor's ritual is wrong. Everyone has to find a way to deal with the race day. However, the health and comfort of your dog should come first.

Službu Tréninkový program pro psa využívám již delší čas a jsem s ní moc spokojená. Troufám si říct, že je spokojený i můj pes. Tréninkové dávky píše Tereza Hladká, zkušená trenérka psů, jejíž přístup mi zcela vyhovuje. Pes se mi vrátil do kondice a je perfektně připraven závodit. Tréninky ho baví, protože jsou velmi variabilní. Zároveň já mám jistotu, že ho zbytečně nepřetěžuji a doufám, že i díky tomu bude mít pohybový aparát dlouho zdravý. Na plánu se domlouváme na týden dopředu i podle mých časových možností. Zpravidla jeden den požaduji na aquaterapii, nebo fyzioterapii podle potřeby. Velmi častou součástí jsou rychlé procházky, kdy pes běhá. Speciální tréninky na budování rychlosti, nebo síly. Přes léto je zařazeno plavání. A třešničkou jsou tréninky v tahu. Některé tréninky jsou logicky navázané na sebe, jiné se dají v plánu přesunout. Celý systém strukturovaného tréninku krásně nasedá na závodní sezónu, tak jak je žádoucí. Ivana B. Začali jsme hezky od začátku. Tréninky nám píše na celý týden dopředu s tím, že vždy v neděli nebo pondělí dám vědět jak jsme na tom časově. Oba pracujeme na směny. Někdy se míjíme a třeba nemáme tolik časových možností na delší trénink nebo trénink ve dvou (to hlavně kvůli motivaci psa). Terka nám vždy vyjde vstříc a vymyslí to tak, aby to vyhovovalo všem stranám. Což je za mě ohromné plus. Když si s něčím nevíme rady, otravuji jí s pomocí nebo názorem. Vždy ochotně poradí V tréninkovém plánu nechybí nabírání objemu, CC, strečink a odpočinek. Samozřejmě vše psí Je vidět, že to nabírá na obrátkach, když se blíží sezóna a naopak měl volno, když se nic nedělo. Na Dexíkovi je vidět jak se mu zlepšuje kondice, má sílu jako blázínek a hlavně, hlavně ho to všechno baví Není přetrénovaný a když vidím ten týden, dává to celé nějaký smysl. Pejska si sice člověk musí odtrénovat sám a musí si ho pozorovat a nedělat vše slepě, popřípadě trénink přizpůsobit, ale má to řád. Jsme vděční, že jsme na Terku narazili. Nikdy nebyla nepříjemná a ani mi nikdy nevynadala, když jsem udělala něco blbě Moc si vážíme toho, že říká věci upřímně a tak jsou. . Psa si zkazí člověk hrozně snadno, ale troufám si říct, že díky tréninkům od Terky se nám nic takového nestalo.
