Mushing Dogs in Alaska

Robert Forto dreams of running his sled dogs in the Iditarod … a thousand-mile race. But it’s not as simple as training for a long race. It’s about building a pack one dog at a time and learning to mush one mile at a time. His dream takes determination, grit, athleticism, and sacrifice … including spending summers in Alaska, training with his pack.

Maxine the Fluffy Corgi

New Yorkers love their fast and inexpensive subway system … and the City’s dog lovers wanted to be able to take their dogs with them. So the City made a rule: dogs can ride, if they’re in a bag. The Bag Dog culture that sprang up as a result is both pragmatic and hilarious. Meet Maxine, one of the most famous and most photographed Bag Dogs … Webby-award-nominated for her subterranean backpacking sojourns.

Robert Forto – Mushing Dogs in Alaska

Robert began mushing in 1994 and became interested in long distance racing shortly thereafter, and plans to compete in the Iditarod before he gets too old!

Robert says, “I have had many successes and disappointments in the past 19+ years but one element has remained consistent, I have always tried to do my best with what I have and have always enjoyed the special bond I have had with my dogs. It has been a privilege to share this wonderful life journey with my dogs, my team mates, my family and my friends.”

Robert is recognized by his peers and has won numerous awards for the training of dogs throughout his career including dog training excellence awards, best new business award, special needs training award, fear rehabilitation award, humane dog trainer award, society education award, and nominated for aggression and behavior therapy awards many times over.
