As a working breed, it is very important that we remain in top physical condition. You see some sled dogs do a variety of exercises during the off-season so that they are fully prepared for the rigors of our winter sport. We invite you to see some exclusive footage of the specially adapted training program for The Thundering Herd.
Remember, we are professionals. Pace yourselves.

Sam took careful notes! Next year, he is going to be in great shape!
Sam
Oh man, Natasha makes it look so easy!
Rusty,you and Loki could be bunk buddies with that burp. if i could just get it on video… Loki burps like a boy trying to burp on purpose… swallows a bunch of soda and forces his burps out loud and clear.
we paid attention too and realized that we’re also a “working” breed as we are alike in sooooo many ways Bol!
chikisses,

An excellent video. I’m exhausted from watching the workout.
Meeshka
Excellent lesson, I will keep that on board and tell all my fellow sleddoggery pals!
Or maybe I should keep those secrets for myself…
Your poor hu-dad – having to deal with all that activity in the house like that. You guys really need to learn how to settle down and relax! Can’t be working all the time! LOL!
Woooo well done the herd, I see a lot of effort has gone into your exercise. Well deserved rest
Khumbu
so cute!!! really liked the doggy doga.
Ha ha ha! Morgan does Doga exactly the same way! Whew! I feel like such a slacker now. I’m not getting nearly enough exercise.
I just want to know what Hu-Dad did to The Herd to get them so tired before that workout!
Bella & I need to get on this training plan!
Wooos! I guess I will be in great shape fur the winter too!

Yes, you are “professional” NAPPERS!
We’re pretty good at napping around here, except of course, in the middle of the night when our humans are sleeping. Then, we must protect the house from the slightest rustle outside… necessitating yet more napping during the day.
You will most certainly be ready for winter!! BOL!
Wags,
Zona
My kind of exercising, guys, especially the after/nap part!
Go to it!
Kisses,
Stella
You guys have it all covered – we tend to work the hardest on the doga stretch after the nap which of course comes after the stomping down of the weeds.
Great presentation from the Herd.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
As a workout video, I would call this perfection! I see that you prepare for work pretty much as I prepare for sport!
Loved it. Just sayin.
Wif love from the Luke
It’s good that you put that disclaimer in there, reminding everyone that the Siberian Husky is a Working Breed. I mean, not just anyone can handle all that!!!!
I need a nap.
Play bows,
Zim
I think woo’ve khaptured some of the khalisthenikhs from Khamp Khyra
My mom wanted to do some human workouts with some Snowflake Plukhking!

You all sure know how to keep in shape.. We always do a little couch launching, well the Pest does. She is known as the “Flying “B”itch” hehe
Big Sloppy Kisses
Gus, Louie and Callie
Thanks for sharing the secrets of how to keep in such great shape.
Hmmm that is quite the workout plan
Don’t forget, we’ve moved to http://dogisgodinreverse.com
Awesome job Herd. We took notes for our excersise routine.
Have you considered marketing a DVD maybe H6X.
Remy and Flash
You lot are out of control. I was tired just watching all that excitement!
You guys work too hard. You better slow down.
First, you need a Caution at the beginning of this video: “We are professionals. Do not try this at home!” Second, ever consider doing a Sibe Fitness DVD? You put Tybo to shame…and think of the cross marketing possibilities…workout gear…energy bars…Thundering Herd Fitness Camp!
Glad to see everyone is getting ready for Sarge’s Walk.
You have a pawesome exercising program!
I will try to follow it!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
Ok…we are exhausted after that. Must pace ourselves!!
Licks & Nibbles,
Kody & Nia
This is vastly superior to that shake weight thing.
Yip, we’ll definately be leaving that to the professionals! We’ll have to take some notes so when we mature we can start our own training! :p
Licks and lots of slobber,
Lexi and Jasper the Danes
This is a hoot!!! Your dogs are SO beautiful. I could just look at them all day.
Moving this speed in your video, makes it seem like you are all going so much faster when you race! I follow the same training program, lying on the floor and only lifting one eyebrow (to follow progress) as my secretary types this message to you all.
Haaaaaaaaaa, I think I left you the appropriate comment on youtube. Okay, so I’ve posted about the walk one last time, but I want to wish you a glorious outcome. Thank you for helping out in volumes!!!
Twinkie
Hahahaha … absolutely cute commentary! I can’t help it though, all i could think of when i look at that carpet was: AHHHHHH!!!! ALL THE HAIR!!!!!! LOL
Shamus, the Newf, tried to do some Stomping of the Weeds, but he dropped to the floor a bit to soon. Emmett, our hound, didn’t even bother to circle. He just threw himself down. I’ll keep them at it. It obviously takes a lot of work to perfect that move. Form, style, the right number of turns… Ugh. Exhausting.
This had me literally LOL, just priceless. I cannot take the combined cuteness of all those sprawled paws.
Oh my God, guys – I think Wolverine needs to come and take workout tips from you!
I was working up a sweat just watching you – don’t know how you can keep it up! 
Slobbers,
Honey the Great Dane
Trying to work off all those Frosty Paws?
