Dog Sledding - Mushing in Fairbanks, Alaska

Dog Sledding - dog mushing in Fairbanks, Alaska . We traveled to Fairbanks for Spring Break 2010 where Dan took a half day class to learn the fundamentals of dog sledding. His first run was tandem and his second run was following. Altogether it was about 12 miles

i dont like how they move the dogs araund they have too be more gentle

[Dblitz70]

@MrReeg16 it may look that way from the video, but really if you ever tried to manage one of these dogs you would find out very quickly that they can pull you over and get away. They are remarkably strong for their size, and they think nothing of being held by the harness or by being picked up swiftly. You'll notice only the professional musher picks up the dogs and puts them in the truck. This is because there is a technique to it so as to never harm or injure the dogs. Go to Alaska and see!
