Mush.
Usually "Hike" or "Mush" to get them to go.
if there was no musher the dogs would not know where to go
Mush! Hike! All Right! Le t's Go!
Dog sledding is a popular winter sport that includes up to 12 sled dogs pulling a leading person (called a "musher"). The musher stands in a sled/cart and the dogs pull him or her through snow.
If your talking about the guy who drives the sled dogs, then I think that this one guy said a word that soundede like "mush" to make his sled dogs go. It was actually some foreign word, but an important guy (maybe a filmmaker) heard him and thought it was "mush".
There are a number of behaviors that could disqualify a musher from the Iditarod race. Two of the most common are animal neglect or cruelty or sabotage of other teams or mushers. Dogs are also checked for illegal drugs.
They run all year and slowly increase their distance and speed each time they run. ( they are still using a sled to pull the musher)
Each owner is different. The best thing to do is to read some books that have been written on the Iditarod race. They will tell you lots about what these owners/trainers go through with their dogs such as the breeding, care of, feeding of, & how they care for their dogs during the race.
Dogs can go blind from glaucoma or from advanced cataracts.

Female dogs go into heat when they think of mating, they get excited, then the male dogs will mate with them... however a male dog can make a female one to go into heat by licking the dog's vulva with their tongues...........
