The best way to learn about dog sledding / racing, is to come to a M.U.S.H. event near you. Here you will be able to see how excited the dogs get when the sense they are going to run! You can also ask questions during non-race times throughout the day. See the Race Events link for more information.
Be Sure to check for last minute weather related cancellations before you head out. (Usually posted by Thursday evening)
You can start with one dog in the Skijoring class or dryland events such as the Caniross as well as bike and scooter classes . Check out the Division classes under the Resources tab for other dog team options.
