Shockline (Shock Absorber)

All Nordkyn ganglines are made of hollow braid polyethylene, tougher and more flexible than polypropylene. They behave better in extreme cold, stretch less, and are more abrasion resistant. Heavy duty 3/4" brass snaps come on all tugs, with lighter 1/2" snaps on necklines. All snaps are easily replaced on the trail. Center, shock, and snublines are 3/8" ; tuglines and necklines are 1/4".

It is important for a dogs protection to prevent jarring occurring whenever they work in harness (apart from weightpull, which has different techniques). 

This shockline is suitable for teams between 1 dog and 6 dogs.

A bungee or shockline is an integral part of any working kit and takes different forms depending on the activity you are pursuing. If you are running a four dog husky team on a sled, you will require a different strength bungee to running a single collie in cani-cross; conversely a large malamute team would need an extremely heavy duty shock.
