Prepare for unexpected vet bills
One of the oldest, most tried and true activities that a dog and their owner could engage in gets a snowy twist; we hit on this activity a bit in our steps for Dog Sledding, but snow fetch can be a very fun and engaging activity in and of itself.
Alaskan Malamutes are naturally agile dogs and they'll love the opportunity to dart, dip, dive, duck, and dash around an obstacle course of a reliable make. Look for a nearby park with such resources that are available to the public or consider making a DIY obstacle course yourself if you're more of the hands on type.
This activity will give your dog quite a workout; weight pulling involves strapping your dog to sled with a certain amount of weight piled on top of it and then encouraging them to pull it for a set distance. It can be a lot fun for your dog and a great way for them to get into better shape for any future Dog Sledding sessions.
