A great book for any musher; advanced or amuter

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.

Great For Any Musher

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!

one of the greatest tools out there

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. :-)
