Verbal commands let the handler tell the dogs where to go. Unlike horses who draw vehicles, sled dogs have no reins. Without verbal commands, the dogs wouldn't know where to go and the team would just run around chasing rabbits and pulling the helpless handler with them.
"Hike" means go faster.
"Gee" means go right. "Gee Gee" means hard right.
"Haw" means go left. "Haw Haw" means hard left.
"On by" means pass the other team.
"Whoa" means slow down.
