SLED DOG LINKS:

Handler
The dog handlers are very important to larger sled dog teams. They help hook-up dogs, put on harnesses, booties, and feed the whole team. What a lot of work! This really helps mushers before and during races to have some extra help with the dogs. Especially if they're really tired!

Harness
A piece of equipment worn on a dog to transfer the energy of pulling from the dog, to the item being pulled. Usually made from webbing as the main arrangement of straps, and fleece or neoprene as padding in the "high pressure" areas on the dog.

Haw
This is the command used by most mushers to make the lead dog(s) turn the team left.

Hike
The command used by most mushers to get the team moving.

Husky
All northern breed dogs. Usually displays a heavy coat.
