Did you ever wonder what mushers say in order to get their dogs to go one direction or another?
To go right, a musher says, ‘Gee!”
To go left, a musher says, “Haw!”
Dogs have to listen and follow the directions because there are no ropes connecting the dogs to the musher! A musher hangs on to the handle bars of the sled, not reigns. Dogs must listen for the command and follow it in order for a team to run a successful race.
Just spinning some De’tails’!
