ARF! I've been living on an island for so long I can imagine running that far without ending up in the drink. Maybe we've been here too long. I see the attraction of dogs. . . at least until I see all those dog houses and think of all those ravening maws to feed.
I made a typo in my first try so had to do it again!
The dogs are actually running in pairs side by side. The video most distort the line-up. To steer the dogs you just call out "gee" or going right and "haw" for going left. Similar to horse and buggy. These two lead dogs are great in open country with commands, not all are as smart. Some dogs like to run up front, but do not have much control. This can have it's advantages and disadvantages.
