really awesome vid! ijust got a siberian husky and i really want him to be run in races and such.
i was wondering how you train a sibe the commands like left, right stop and go and if it is difficult!?!?
how do u do it lol!!
oh man .. thats so cool .. i dont think my husky would do that tho .. she’s too lazy .. haha.. but i love her
mush is go
haw is left
gee is right
i’m going to get my own huskys and train them to race soon.
Actually “Hike” is go…nobody ever uses mush…
Gee is right
Haw is left
Whoa is stop
Gee-over and haw-over aremove to that side of the trail respectively
Easy is slow down
To train them I usually put dogs that do not know the commands in a team of dogs that do so they learn by experience!
I have a question for you. ok so I am going to be getting some dogs to train but i was wondering on some things like how do I train my dogs to turn?
How do they not get tangled?
I always wonder that.
I think my husky Shaddie would love to do something like that, she acts just like yours do, and I had to take her to training to actually get her to stop pulling she was slicing up my hands with her leash from pulling so hard
I don’t know of any place though in California that enables something like that besides in the mountains I live in the city, and there aren’t any places to do that here & I don’t drive so I can’t take my dogs to the snow.
I love it! Great video.
An exercised sled dog is a quiet sled dog.
hike, haw, and gee are common… i use woah to slow down, but you can train your dogs with whatevever you want, provided it’s easy to remember, and short so you can say it quickly.
what kind of harnesses do you use?? they don’t all look like xbacks to me..
“Nobody says Mush”… But in truth you can say anything you want and they will go. “Whoa” in Dog means speed up. Hint: For your next rig, get one with larger diameter wheels and it won’t leap into the air over every rock and bump.
where is saxapahaw? Were yall members of the CNCSHC? I run my teams over here in the foothills.. let me know if you still are running. (if the owner of the video runs dogs lol)

Have a look at the Norwegian dog cart under the search “Sacco Wagon”.
I do the same with my Husky and German Shepard/Afghan Hound mix. They live for these runs.I don’t use all of the traditional commands, I have all my own and they work well.
Great video.
how do you get them not to run away mine aways jets it out of the yard.
I would love to train my husky to run like this; but I have no idea where you’d start. I guess you only really have a chance if you’re born into a family that already does it. I’ve heard many say that your dog learns off another dog; but if you’re like me and only have one dog; what are you supposed to do?
Lol.

i have to huskt im gonna start a team when i get more
I own 18 Husky/Wolf mixes that i use for sled racing
I spent the first 12 years of my life racing huskies in Michigan and my family is even pretty good friends with Linwood! This video brought tears to my eyes. Missed the sound of huskies wanting to do what they love. your video did so much for me, thank you!!
so cute <3
WHAT KIND of harnesses are those?
omg me to i have one dog and will get another but i want him to learn
I think they’re X back harnesses, but I’m not quite sure.
I’m getting my first sled dog soon, and I have been interested in racing for a really long time. I’m 15 years old, and I was wondering where you get your harnesses and sleds and training sleds and whats the best way to teach your dogs to pull and commands? Could you find them at Big R or something?
Thanks and let me know (:
Ashley…
youre crazy look what youve done to that dogs omg!
