Extreme Physical Education | Wednesday | Period 1
When the students filed into class this morning, they'd noticed a lot of cold weather gear lining the walls and several sleds stacked up next to Fraser. Fraser himself was grinning like a loon so it was clear that this class was going to be one of his personal favorites.
"Good morning," he greeted. "Today, we're going to be partaking in dog sledding. Dog sledding basically is riding in a sled that is pulled by one or more sled dogs over ice and snow. So, it's a cold weather sport and requires endurance, stamina, and a keen eye to both pay attention to your surroundings and your dogs. In dog sledding, Siberian Huskies and Alaskan malamutes are the most common type of dog used because of their willpower to work. These are animals though and you have to care for them just as you would a normal pet. These guys are oftentimes your only companionship while you're out sledding and treating them badly means you're going to run into a dangerous situation later. Care for your dogs and love them."
Yes, someone felt strongly about that. With that said, Fraser then went through the process of how to harness the dogs and hook them up to the sleds. He went through it a few times just to make sure everyone got the hang of it. Next, he went through a few commands on how to handle the sled dogs and how to handle the sled.
"Now, we're going to go dog sledding," he said and started up the simulation. Finally, the packs of gorgeous Siberian Huskies appeared, waiting for the students. "Please get into your cold weather gear, find a group of dogs and harness them to your sled before you head off into the Canadian wilderness. Have fun, be safe, and stay warm!"
