	Sled Dog Racing at Dog Scouts of America. Dog camp, clicker training, and dog training!
		The difference between amateur and professional sled dog races is that the pros are racing for prize money anywhere from thousands of dollars (in the long distance races) to hundreds of dollars or less (in the shorter, "sprint" races or mid-distance races).
		Sledding collars are made so that they will go over the dog's head, but not come off while he is pulling on the line.
		If you don't have leaders who will keep the other dogs doing their jobs, and you think the new dog may cause trouble (biting the lines, being a nincompoop), you could try putting him alone in the wheel position with two dogs in lead for him to "chase" (or to be pulled along by).

		Anyone familiar with dogs could easily tell both the wonderful bond between Buser and his dogs and that his was a frequent event in their lives, not something staged for the benefit of the camera.
		When race critics cite statistics, however, they chose to ignore the statistical proof of how the care of these dogs has improved, using old figures, figures calculated including deaths from a time when the race was admittedly relatively unmonitored, to back up their claims.
		Dogs are monitored constantly and I stood on 4th Avenue and watched vets literally give every dog involved in the race, almost 1,300, one last, hands on check before the start of the 2000 race, ensuring their identity via a microchip.
