We pull their front feet off the ground so we can bring them to the drop line. When their feet touch the ground, it normally results in a face plant for the musher and a loose dog lol. They take off and are so powerful they pull you off your feet. Once the dogs know they are going for a run, they get very excited.

It doesn't hurt them at all. I'm so glad I had this adventure! I waited long enough! It was such fun. :) The dogs find it easier to *walk* to the gangline when they’re led by their collars.

Wasn't until you took us to the dogsled demonstration at Denali that I learned that wasn't the case! You can tell how much the dogs just LOVE the run!! So glad to see that you got to experience the thrill first-hand. Such fun!! Mich xoxox Sue,
