Season tours could say, every morning, which dog can go at which departure. But they were prepared day by day, from today, and only by sled. A touring season doesn't look like that: it opens on one date, closes on another, is prepared weeks ahead, and a kennel also runs karts, canicross hikes or bikejoring.
What changes
A season calendar. The tours page opens on the season's month — in October, on December if your tours open on 19 December. Each day shows its departures, its teams and where it stands: "To compose", "Composed", "Done", "Closed". On the phone, the season reads in weeks, then a week in seven days.
Schedule at once. "Schedule departures": a formula, its times, the weekdays, from… to… — and the preview says how many departures will be created, how many already exist, how many closed days are skipped, before anything is written. A thaw week is cancelled the same way.
Each week says whether you can hold it. Under each week: the dog places its departures ask, against what your dogs can do in 7 days within your limits. "3 dogs short for the week of 15 February" reads before winter, on what you actually scheduled.
All your activities. Each formula has its activity: sled, kart with passengers, canicross hiking, bikejoring. A hiker goes with one to three dogs, without a lead; a bikejoring departure states its assistance; the convoy is recorded in its formula's activity, and each dog gets its team's load.
A status that also looks ahead. A dog already booked on the following days no longer exceeds your limits without the screen saying so: "15 rounds out of 15 from 18 to 24".
What others see
Kennel members read the calendar; the owner and the handler schedule, cancel and compose. Nothing of the season leaves the kennel: no client, no booking.
What it doesn't do
No stored template week: scheduling creates real departures, and changing the rhythm means cancelling the range and scheduling again. Dogs are not composed ahead automatically. A week's holding counts every dog of the season for all its formulas: it doesn't know a dog only does canicross hiking. On the phone, the kennel's closed days don't show — they are still skipped.
Choices made against the obvious
Departures ahead, dogs on the day. We could have planned teams three weeks ahead. But an injury, a heat, the weather aren't known three weeks before, and a touring musher told us so: the dogs' plan is made in the morning. The calendar therefore measures your dogs' capacity, not names.
No grid on the phone. Seven columns on a phone make cells too small for a finger; the season reads in weeks there, each day a row you tap without aiming.
The activity on the formula, not the season. A kennel runs sleds in the morning and canicross hikes in the afternoon with the same dogs: two seasons wouldn't see each other's rounds.
A preview before writing. Two hundred departures at once are checked before they exist, not after.
