No one can MAKE a sled dog run and pull a sled. Mushers must build relationships with the dogs. Dogs are born, breed, and trained to run. These dogs have it in their blood line to love to run and pull. The dogs also have a natural 2 layer coat to protect them from the elements. The dogs get the best veterinarian care possible. But no one can MAKE a sled dog pull a sled and race. The dog has to want to do it. (It's like you can't push a string...)

In dog mushing the term "wheel dog" refers to the dog or pair of dogs harnessed closest to the sled. The wheel dog(s) take the greatest load in shifting the direction of a sled from one course to another. Typically, dogs used in this position are generally stronger than their team mates and are called upon to do the "heavy lifting" in difficult conditions.

An Iditarod racer is called a musher. A musher is the proper name of a dog sled driver, no matter if the driver is a professional dog sled racer or an amateur. Dog sled was the fastest method of overland travel for the native tribes in the Arctic regions of Russia, Canada and America. Mushers control their dogs by means of vocal commands.
