Sled Dogs | Life Below Zero
I’m the alpha male and Kate’s the alpha
female
and whatever you do never get between a
man and his dog this afternoon is gonna
be a really big day for our puppy Jack
he’s five months almost six months old
now you’re gonna try to get him trained
to run along with the team if you don’t
train these dogs up ahead of time you
can find yourself in a pretty bad
situation with no leaders and no trained
dogs for Jack today is about getting
familiar with running in and around the
team and also starting to build
confidence
Jeep
oh boy a few more days I could put them
in just a small little team on the way
home a little robbing the harness and
see how he does
dogs are probably the most important
part of our lifestyle out here they
provide us with our transportation we’re
using for free for me probably one of
the most important things there’s sir my
companions what’s so excited
boy straight
this year the river i scammed up right
to the bank it’s a lot of Holloway’s
here it’s the stuff you got to worry
about with the dogs okay there they fall
into that that’s when a shoulder gets
blown out
jambalaya supposes a couple of different
problems I can get through it but it’s
very easy to hurt a dog when you’re
going through rough jumbled ice and I’m
really concerned about taking care of my
dogs because they’re my work force they
are they are everything to me in the
wintertime making sure they don’t get
hurt is critically important to me don’t
try and go nice and slow for this
okay let’s go you guys are trail
breaking machines yeah let’s go
the dogs are our buddies but they’re
also a tool they’re a piece of machinery
and once I hook them up and go I know
I’m gonna make it to wherever I’m going
son of a bitch I’m gonna go hook up
about ten dogs and we’ll just drag it
back to the shop with the 10 dog and
then go back with the dogs and get a
load of wood with them I probably should
have done that in the first place you
guys ready to go perform triple-a
services that a boy straight ahead those
10 dogs ran with that snow machine home
and it was a good feeling to see my dogs
in shape
pulling the snow machine home with no
problems at all boys I don’t want to
rely on that equipment anymore to do a
quick job
I’m gonna use my dogs because they’re
reliable
