So today we're going to show you guys how to go sledding without snow, by using this!
The diggler scooter! Hey happy Memphis! So you guys are always asking about how we keep our
dogs active in the summer, you know because you guys know we do sledding and stuff. There's no
water in there sweetheart! Sledding and stuff in the wintertime, and I know some of you have seen
the video we did on our little cart that we have that we use with the dogs and take them running.
Some of you may have seen what I'm going to show you next, but some of you may have not.
Today we're going to show you our diggler scooter! Okay! Oakley's like I haven't seen this yet.
Oakley hasn't actually got to pull it yet because, uh, I don't know, I don't know if she can.
So basically the diglger works kind of like the sled, only without snow. um There
are a few things you are going to need for using, for going scootering with your dogs,
and basically the setup that we have for this for the scooter, is the exact same setup you
can use for bikejoring with your dogs. One thing you are going to need is a bungee line. This is
our bungee line. This line is actually set up for two dogs. You really don't want to do bike joring
or scootering with more than two dogs at a time. I think that would probably be a little bit much,
because this moves a lot faster, it has a lot less resistance than a sled does, so it's going to move
a lot faster than the sled. So I haven't done it with more than two dogs, and it goes pretty fast
with two dogs. One dog is really easy, two dogs is kind of crazy, but I've done it with Shelby and
Memphis before. So anyway, what you're gonna need is either a scooter,
or like I said, a bike. You're gonna need this little clasp here,
and I will put links to all these things down in the video description below. Before I even
get any further, the scooter, the line, the noodle, the harness, all of this stuff
was bought from alpineoutfitters.net. That is where we get all of our equipment for sledding,
and urban mushing. All the harnesses, everything we get from alpineoutfitters.net.
So you're gonna need the hook to hook your line to your bike or your scooter. You're going to
need the line, like I said, and then this. They call this a noodle, and as you can see the line
goes through the noodle, and then this part hooks up here to kind of keep it taut. What this is for,
this is to stop the line from falling and getting tangled in the tire. If you didn't have this line,
see how the the line just kind of goes over the tire? Well your fear would be
that it's going to get tangled up in here, so you definitely want to have a noodle. Also basically
for the scooter or for bike joring, you use the same type of commands that you do for sledding.
Woah for slow down, hike for go, haw for left, gee for right. um exact same commands. because it's
just like sledding. You know they're stretched out in front of the diggler, and then for the harness,
we use the urban mushing harnesses. Shelby want to demonstrate a harness? She's like no, not really,
but anyway we don't use a crossback racing harnesses when we go bike joring or scootering,
we use the urban mushing harness, again, from alpineoutfitters.net. This is
Shelby's harness that I brought out here to show you guys, but now we're going to
show you guys a clip, hopefully it turned out okay, of us using the scooter with Memphis and
Shelby. Oakley did not go, because again, we don't want her over exerting herself too much quite yet.
So there you go you guys! There's our little video showing yet one more way
you can have fun with your dogs when there's not snow on the ground. You know besides sledding
you can do this. Another thing is there are different levels of the diggler scooter.
I bought a little bit more advanced one. You can buy, there's like a child size one, which actually
adults can fit on. If you check the weights on it, I had a friend of mine that, that's how she
started off was with the smaller diggler. I went with the bigger one. There's a bunch of different
levels, a bunch of different styles, you can go to alpineoutfitters.net to check all those out. So
anyway, we hope you enjoyed this little video of our diggler scooter. I know some of you guys had
seen it in the vlogs and you had asked more about it and wanted to know more about, more about it,
so since we finally had a nice cool day and we were able to take the dogs out on it, we thought
we would do a video showing you guys what it is. All right you guys, hey if you have any
suggestions for what you do with your dogs in the spring summer and fall months, things that you do
to have fun, leave us a comment, let us know what you guys do to have fun with your pets! Thanks for
watching, thanks for subscribing, stay positive, dream big, and we'll see you soon! say goodbye
