5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect "How to get started and go" book for dog racing!, June 14, 1999
This review is from: Mush: A Beginner's Manual of Sled Dog Training (Paperback)
This book gives you years of experience in dog sledding and carting. Written in a very easy to read "discussion" format, it covers dog selection, obedience, racing training techniques, etiquette, and even sled/cart building. With this single reference, there is enough common sense know how to become a contender in the sport!

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the greatest tools out there, June 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mush: A Beginner's Manual of Sled Dog Training (Paperback)
This was a great book! It gave you ways to train your dog how to pull and when I hooked my dog up to a sled for the first time, she felt very confident in her position. I feel that it is due to the book's helpfulness, and ability to go in great detail when needed. I totally recommend this book to anyone who wants to start dog sledding or who wants to learn abit more about the sport. It is great for all ages. :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars MUSH, August 30, 2001
This review is from: Mush: A Beginner's Manual of Sled Dog Training (Paperback)
This is a good book for beginners. I called it my bible when I started running dogs....it answers all those questions you feel stupid to ask a "professional musher" The book includes history of sleddogs, diagrams, photos and even how to build your own dog houses/boxes, make your own gear,& pattern for booties. It's a must for you library.
