Customer Reviews: good for skijoring too February 15, 2008 Just Me (here and there across the USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Much of the info in this book applies to skijoring as well. Recommended by the skijoring book Ski Spot Run.
Excellent for a Sprint Musher June 28, 2006 AlaskanKristen (Talkeetna, AK) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great book with some great information. It talks about what makes a good dog, running the dogs, training puppies, etc. It is more geared towards sprint mushing, but a distance racer can still get some good ideas from it too.
Excellent guide to training racing sled dogs November 5, 1997 30 out of 31 found this review helpful
Jim Welch has written a clear and concise book on training sled dogs to race. There are specific examples to clarify most techniques and ample support for the effectiveness of each method. He has successfully condensed the knowledge of many of the world's top mushers into a relatively short book. Consider it essential reading for anyone who wants to reach the maximum potential of their dogs whether they be competitors at the national or local level.
