I’m Dallas Seavey I’m a professional
sled dog racer in 2012 I finished in
front of my dad and became the youngest
person ever to win the Iditarod hello
guys
I taught Dallas everything he knows but
I haven’t taught him everything I know
so Dallas is just gonna have to stay out
of my way
hey give me that hey sled dogs I found a
place in Alaska that I thought was the
best place for training dogs good fall
conditions lots of snow early winter so
that we can train on sleds and we try to
make everything like it will be on the
Iditarod all right time to go mushing
obviously I think the way that I train
dogs is the best way my dad almost
always has something wrong with the way
that I train dogs but the irony of it is
if he trained the same way I do he’d be
untouchable Dallas and I train quite
differently one of the techniques that
we use pretty effectively every fall is
truck mushing where we hook up about 20
dogs to the front of the dog truck and
just go down the road at the right speed
what we want to do is go along at about
9 miles an hour and just go the same
speed the whole time without them having
to pull real hard it builds in the right
pace into the dogs all right tanner
Bango we can run big teams we can have
really good control the road is
generally pretty pretty safe to the dogs
there’s not a lot of hazards so that
while they’re getting toughened in they
don’t usually have any injuries and so
it allows us to get a lot of dogs run in
the fall while we’re still checking out
which ones are actually gonna be part of
the main core hey go straight ahead I
think the truck mushing is important to
at least to our winning program Dallas
thinks he knows everything when it comes
to the dog training but he’s wrong good
boy so who’s ready to go not too many
volunteers huh it gets dark pretty early
this time of year therefore we end up
doing a lot of mushing during the
nighttime hours there we go now
everybody’s waking up dogs have to get
trained every single day most of our
training and my Styla training is trying
to prepare these dogs to be on the idea
to ride day after day after day they
know it’s gonna be 150 200 300 miles
before we come home again
so they noticed conserve their energy
and generally when I get on the sled
they know it’s time to take off and then
you see them all stand up and ready to
go but
I do most of my training at nighttime I
think it helps you focus on the dog
since everything else is blacked out all
you have is the dogs and the beam of
your headlight illuminating each one it
helps me focus on each individual dog
also it’s kind of incognito training we
don’t see very many other teams on the
trail nobody knows what we’re doing for
training g-gee so my style is a more
fluid artistic style that’s
ever-changing and I think it’s the best
way to do it I just want to do it the
best it can possibly be done so come I
did a rock time to farther ahead of my
dad I’m gonna be he’s my dad and I want
him to do well like second place but he
sure can’t come in in front of me that’s
not gonna happen
