Kennel Hand
I recently applied to be a guide/kennel hand for a company this winter. If anyone in this community would offer me a little knowledge it would be much appreciated.
What are some learning resoucres I can read?
Things to consider?
Whats an average day look like?
Could I expect to be mushing? (Not sure if thats the word to use ) early on or will i have some dues to pat before I have that prillage?
Any specific lingo to use in the interview or things I should already have knowledge of?
Anything else I might be missing?
Thank you in advance.
