Commands

[wolfwoman]

A short list of commands that me and the pups will be trying to learn together

Gee (pronounced JEE): Turn right
Haw: Turn left
Hold Tight: keep the line from the tugline taut
Hike: RUN fast!
Good dogs: keep doing what you're doing
Easy: Slow down
Pick it up: Go faster
Come gee: Make a U-turn to the right
Come haw: Make a U-turn to the left
Gee over: move over to the right side of the trail
Haw over: move over to the left side of the trail
On By: stay the course and disregard distractions
Go Home: return to the truck, house, whatever it is you train them from
Go on: move ahead
Whoa: stop now

I think that's enough for all of us to learn!!

lol Thanks for posting those lol

Guess it would help to teach the commands if you know what your teaching huh. lol ;D

I use tighten up for hold tight.
I also use trail gee and trail haw for the move to the right or left

Whoa is a great one to teach if you can get the dogs to do it. Most of your race dogs dont ever get taught that cause the mushers dont want them to stop for any thing. That is how I lost my team for the first time. lol

I'm thinking I'll work on the whoa one too....lol My dogs are WAY too strong for me to NOT teach them that!!!
