dog sledding

Dog sledding is a form of transportation where teams of trained dogs, typically huskies or malamutes, pull a sled across snow and ice. The musher, or driver, stands on the sled and directs the dogs using reins and vocal commands. This activity has historical roots in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, serving as a vital means of travel and freight transport. Today, dog sledding is also a popular sport and recreational activity, emphasizing the animals' endurance, teamwork, and the handler’s skill in guiding them over challenging winter terrains. Proper care and training are essential for the dogs’ health and safety.
