When will you start sled training her. And pardon the stupid question, but how would you even go about starting her?

She'll probably start in a couple weeks. The lady who pulled her from the pound came over last night and brought a little harness for her. It's from one of her bridge dogs and a perfect fit for Tehya. I didn't have any small size harnesses!

It's very important that she just have fun right now. She can't think it's work or have a negative association with running or she won't want to later. So that means she'll only go on short runs with the best dogs I have in the team and when the trails are most likely to be quiet. No running her with the unpredictable dogs or when something is likely to go wrong! It has to be all fun all the time! I will probably run her beside Pacer in swing to start. Pacer is driven, but calm in harness.

I am hoping that she will want to lead and over the summer and fall she can do some work with Paxil, before Paxil is ready for full retirement. Paxil can teach her to lead far better than I can. I can teach her the commands, but Paxil can teach her stuff only a lead dog knows.

Such a good girl! I love black & white animals, something about them intirigues me, I love looking at them. Poor girl, ya gotta watch those massive malamute noggins, they're like boulders! Glad she wasn't hurt too bad. Heyoka probably didn't feel a thing, LOL! Looking forward to seeing her running along beside handsome Pacer, they're gonna be a good-looking pair together! I was glad you added a young dog to your team, you've mentioned before how many older dogs you have. Plenty of time to pass along all that wisdom. Skritches & ear rubs & muzzle kisses to that little cutie!

Hope you get to feeling better soon.
