This is a very involved process that starts at puppy hood. You would need to contact trainers in this field. Read all the books you can find on this subject.
You have to train them.
To race and train you have to do it below 48 degrees or you will kill the dogs... where I live you race in the winter and train in the fall. Hope that this was helpful. If you have anymore Questions post them on www.desdc.org go to the message board and ask, we are all very nice.
Yes all the things dogs do for us need training.
dog sled racing
pulling the people down the hill.. :) I love going sledding when dogs are pulling :) ~natosha~ Ryan babe i love you so much..!! :)
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.
It can last as long as the people want it to, or until the dogs or the racers themselves die.
its the last dogs closest to the sled. they are the strongest so they can pull the sled along
No, you are not a redneck if you train dogs in your head. What's the difference if you train them in your backyard, or in a field. Being someone who helps her friends train dogs, i train them in my house and i don't think i am even close to a redneck... hope that helps!:)
The fewest dogs you can run with is at least 10. At the start of the race you must at least has 12 dogs in order to start the race
yes.small dogs are easy to train
The people who control dog sleds are called mushers. They are responsible for guiding and managing the team of sled dogs, ensuring their safety and well-being during the journey. Mushers often train their dogs and develop a strong bond with them, essential for successful sledding. The sport is popular in various regions, particularly in Alaska and parts of Canada.
