Did you know that you could take a class at the University of Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Pacific University for Dog Mushing?  In the class students learn all there is to know about the Alaska State Sport and they even get a chance to get behind the sled themselves. Dog musher and college instructor Robert Forto teaches the college courses at the two universities and they are unlike any other course in the country. With Robert’s background in leadership, he incorporates teamwork, and team building in the specifically designed course to teach the students how to take what they learn and use it in the real world.
