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!

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. :-)

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.

This is a great read for anyone seriously considering mushing. I have learned most of my mushing from my dad, who learned his from this book.
When I got my first non-recycled sled dog, I used this book and another one to train her up. She is now one of my best command leaders. I would reccommend this book to any musher, wether you're experienced or not!

This is a great book for anyone who wants to take mushing seriously. It has designs for harnesses, ganglines, dogsleds, carts, and booties. Overall, it is a great book for anyone to get.

Good information, a little out dated in places but equipment changes over time. Good read.

This is great and has all sorts of helpful information. Book was in great condition.

Very informative. It's nice to have the encouragement this book brings to the wanna be driver. One day I'll have my own team of dogs, and expect this guide to be referenced often and well tagged.

I am a beginner dog sled driver without a mentor. This book answers ALL my question, and provides you with the meaty content that it will take to get you to the next level. If your trying to make a choice between this book and another on dog powered sports; get this one. I have others, this is the best one for the beginner.

Mush is an easy guide to training my dog. The book is set up to find the exact chapter you need without reading the whole book.
