Although the best way to learn is by "doing,"
you will do yourself a world of good by taking the time to get some basic information
before you get too far down the trail.
This is a very
preliminary listing of good books. We'll be adding more in future days. These links
will take you directly to Amazon.com where you can purchase the books.
Dog Driver: A
Guide for the Serious Musher Miki Collins, Julie Collins The title notwithstanding, this is one of the most often recommended books for all
types of mushing.
Skijor With Your
Dog Carol Kaynor, Mari Hoe-Raitto Excellent book on getting started in skijoring.
Read through these interviews carefully...even the ones by
mushers participating in a different aspect of mushing than you're interested in. You will
be exposed to a variety of management and training ideas that can help you shape your own
mushing style.
There is a
wealth of information included in this discussion area. Take the time to dig through
both current and past posts. I'm continually learning from my contemporaries and you
will too.
