There is a saying among mushers---"any dog can be trained to pull...ask a golden retriever to Gee and he does it. Ask a husky and he waits for the break in the trees!"

No responsible musher would let a puppy that young actually pull. Most let them run loose with the team for short runs at that age or ride in the sled. It's a great time to train them to stay in the sled. Very helpful should they ever need to be loaded in the sled for some reason in the future. At about nine months they can start to do some actual work. Between a year and 18 months they are able to do more heavy or longer runs.
