5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to training racing sled dogs, November 4, 1997
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for a Sprint Musher, June 27, 2006
By AlaskanKristen (Talkeetna, AK) - See all my reviews
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.

Much of the info in this book applies to skijoring as well. Recommended by the skijoring book Ski Spot Run.
