Omnijore System, $150— Not just for skijoring, the Omnijore System from Ruffwear is designed for any dog-pulling activity. The system includes a dog harness, human hipbelt, and towline. Hook your dog up and you’re both ready for a fun day outside. Purchase Gift / More Info.
Oversized Collar For Big Dogs, $28— The 1.5-inch collar is a better fit for bigger dogs with large necks. It’s wider, so unlike other collars it won’t choke if your dog sometimes pulls on the leash. Purchase Gift / More Info.
