Re: Ask the Musher - KARIN HENDRICKSON

Hi Karin..thank you for being in our forum. I just have one question, about dog handlers in general. I have had some interviews in the past when I was wanting to do that, to experience being around a racing kennel but it didn't work out. I learned a lot from those interviews too.
Why are the positions temporary?
Seems the musher/owner would like the idea of a long term person instead of temporary, having to train again people.
Does the musher think a long term person would get complacent? Or is there a lot of burnout? I have huskies, so I am aware of the chores required, not just feeding and watering, but attention given and medical awareness.
If Karin is not still answering the forum, perhaps some others could answer my question.
Either way, thanks, and good luck Karin and team.
