Aliy's and Allen's blog says it all about fall training. It describes very well the chaos of hooking up dogs early in their professional kennel or any training kennel. We don't hook up as many dogs, but the chaos is probably just as prevalent. This is the link to their SP Kennel Blog: http://spkenneldoglog.blogspot.com/ And I did empathize with Aliy's comment about the occasional black eye or swollen lip from exuberant dogs... they're just SO happy to be going.
Also we use the xback harnesses, only using the ManMat for our lead dogs, so our dogs have necklines, but the discipline and freedom of the no necklined team is incredible once they've learned it. The freedom it gives the dogs as they run is readily visible in some of the Iditarod photos of the teams using this setup.
