I am training my dog to be a sled dog, and she is doing really well. Do you know where I can find a dog sled and a harness? I live in St. Louis Mo

I want to train my dog to be a sled dog. I need
two harnesses
and/or a gangline for two,
but I’ll settle for just one right now.
I’ll order it online or buy it from somewhere near Dallas.
It has to be $20 or less please.

I remember reading this book in school and seeing the movie in school too. All I remember about it is a kid and a dog in a snow sled race and the dog dies just before the end of the race because her heart gave out or something

I’m thinking of racing in it next year and I was wondering how to best put together a team. Any suggestions? Do I have to use dogs? Can I have my friend Johnny Tsunami pull the sled, along with the dogs? He’s pretty strong.

I only have one very sturdy dog, not one of the racing sort of dogs and I’d like to run her and I know in the junior competitions just one dog can pull a sled so I was wondering what size would be good.

We are from Australia and want to enjoy a white xmas overseas. I hear that colorado is great for any type of skier, great powder and long winding trails. Also want dog sledding, sleigh rides etc. Anyone know about skiing in USA or canada, when is the best time to go, the weather, and places to stay. We would be 3 or 4 star accommodation, probably ski in/out.

I have a husky and i want to get a dog sled. I don’t know if I should get a wooden one or another kind. What kind of bindings should i get also? Should i get leather or tenon? I have no idea.What kind works best? It needs to be cheap too.

I am currently trying to write a book about Alaskan sled dog racing. I need to know the temperatures of Alaska for every season. If anyone has any additional information on sled dog racing, the Iditarod, or rules of the race, please let me know!

Seriously. I know you can get a DUI for riding a bike while drunk and for drunk boating. The thing is, I live in Alaska and dog sled competitively. Every once in a while I get loaded and have the dogs take me home. Could I get a DUI for that if the cops caught me?

This dog is not mine, she is my girlfriend’s parent’s. I like to take her for walks in open fields though. I’d like to let her off of her leash, but I’m afraid she will just run wild and I’ll never get her back. For now I just want her to have my attention, listen to me, and stop yanking on my leash. I know she is a sled dog, but she still needs to know some commands! She is only a year old by the way, so I’m sure she can still be molded! Thanks!

I’ve been thinking about trying dog sled out this winter. However I’m deaf and I don’t speak at all. So I’m wondering if I’m out of luck or not?

I want to teach my bernese mountain dog mix to pull a sled or wagon around the yard. Since I don’t want her to get injured I’m looking for a scale or something that gives a weight limit a dog of a certain size can pull. Also, any tips on going about it would help too.
Thanks

I’ve been around dogs all my life and know how to properly care for a dog and I able to train a house pet, but not a sled team

It’s the perfect athletic training event for me: you help the “runners” train by riding along, cozy, in a sled. Your job’s simply be dead weight, and to enjoy the scenery along the way. Read the rest of this entry »
