Jack London’s World of Dog Training

So, Jack London was an incredible author!  But did he really know all that much about training dogs, dog thought patterns, and the motives that truly drive a dog, or team of dogs, to behave in a certain way?

No.

Well, that’s my opinion anyway.  

First he only spent one (maybe two) winters in the Gold Fields.  And it’s been my experience, and the experience of every musher I have ever spoken with, that it takes years and years to understand the social structure of a dog team.
