Why would anyone want to do it otherwise? We teach our Malamutes with lots of praise and lots of patience. The adage "Practice makes perfect" certainly holds true with sled dogs. </div> <bR> <div> Our training methods are not harsh, demanding or corrective. We prefer instead, to build positively on the dogs' natural abilities and their instinctive love of pulling. The end result is dogs that find being out on the trail in harness to be their greatest joy in life. And what is as much fun as gliding silently through a snow covered forest behind a group of dogs that are enjoying the day as much as you are?</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Click on the photos at left to see a larger image.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="some_mtn_home_pics__winter__07.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Some Mtn Home Pics, Winter 07"><B> A few pics from winter '07</B></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="some_mtn_home_pics__winter__08__09_.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Some Mtn Home Pics, Winter 0809 "><B>A few pics from winter '09</B></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto: malx@mymethow.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto: malx@mymethow.com"><I><IMG SRC="152cb0350.jpg" border=0 width="176" height="53" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></A><I>        </I><I><IMG SRC="152db1350.jpg" border=0 width="177" height="53" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Wingdings" ><B> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Lucida Handwriting" >     </FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="other_fun_stuff.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" Other Fun Stuff"><B>NEXT PAGE</B></A></FONT><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Wingdings" ><A HREF="other_fun_stuff.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE=" Other Fun Stuff"><B>Ä</B></A></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="31d5b080.png" border=0 width="347" height="8" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>   <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">var site="s11mxdsa"</script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="http://s11.sitemeter.com/js/counter.js?site=s11mxdsa"> </script> <noscript> <a href="http://s11.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=s11mxdsa" target="_top"> <img src="http://s11.sitemeter.com/meter.asp?site=s11mxdsa" alt="Site Meter" border=0></a> </noscript>    </div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
