How to Put Booties on a Race Sled Dog

Hi! I’m Lachland Clarke on behalf of Expert Village, I would like to invite you to visit our website at www.teamclarke.org. This is a booty horn, just like a shoe horn for helping you put on booties. You going to put booties on the dogs today? We’ve got some dogs that are a little sore footed from last run and depends on the snow conditions. When you race, do you usually have booties on the Iditarod. We booty all the dogs all the time pretty much. It’s preventative more than anything. I like to stand facing backwards on the dog. I load the bootie on like this, slide it on; see how it is nice just like a shoe horn. You keep in mind I’m not very fast but I’ve gotten pretty fast. I mean I don’t know how many thousand times I do this but a 128 times at a check point. 128 booties. Do you have to take them on and off at that point? Yeah. Because this is stretch Velcro. It would be too hard on their tendons and these booties get snow balls and frozen stuff so you change them.
