Look, you’re either obsessed with mushing, or you’re on the wrong page entirely.
And if you’re still reading, I’m guessing it’s the former.
There’s something almost indescribable about standing on the back of a sled, a team of powerful dogs pulling you through snow-covered wilderness at speeds that make your face do things faces shouldn’t do. It’s raw. It’s primal. It’s the kind of thing that makes people who’ve never tried it ask “…but WHY?” while you smile knowingly and say nothing.
But here’s the thing nobody tells you when you fall headfirst into the world of dog mushing…
The learning curve is steeper than an Iditarod trail at 2 am in a blizzard.
Simple secrets discovered by professional mushers who’ve spent decades on the runners, the same methods elite racing teams use to train faster, healthier, and smarter dogs, but with a unique twist that allows YOU to apply it whether you’re running 2 dogs on a weekend trail or building toward your first serious race.
This won’t take long to show you. (6 minutes, 3 seconds and counting.)
You love this sport. Like, really love it.
But staying genuinely connected to everything happening in mushing right now? The training breakthroughs, the race news, the health tips that could save your dog’s joints, the gear that actually works vs. the gear that just looks good in the catalog?
It’s a full-time job that nobody’s paying you for.
Without the right information:
And the brutal part? This happens even if you’re passionate as hell. Even if you’ve been mushing for years. Even if you already subscribe to three different Facebook groups that somehow only post memes and arguments.
Even if you’ve tried to stay current by Googling “mushing news” at 11 pm while your dogs snore in the corner.
Here’s the unusual thing that serious mushers have figured out:
The best mushers in the world aren’t necessarily the ones with the most natural talent. They’re the ones with the best information, community, and consistent connection to what’s actually happening in their sport.
They have a feed. A source. A home base that keeps them sharp, informed, and inspired, even during the off-season when everyone else loses momentum.
My name is Robert Forto.
I’ve spent years living and breathing the world of dog mushing, training dogs, covering the sport, connecting with mushers from backyard hobbyists to Iditarod veterans. I’ve made every mistake in the book. I’ve also learned from the best.
And if you’re anything like me, you’re tired of feeling like you’re always slightly behind on what’s happening in mushing. Tired of being the last to know about training techniques that the top teams have been using for two seasons already. Tired of that nagging feeling that you’re missing something important.
You see, I used to piece everything together myself. Bought the books. Attended the clinics. Spent hours chasing down information that should’ve been in one place but wasn’t.
The problem is that mushing is one of the most passionate, knowledgeable, tight-knit sporting communities in the world, but the information is scattered across magazines, podcasts, private groups, and the heads of old-timers who only talk if you buy them a coffee first.
Look at this: while I was scrambling to find reliable training advice for my dogs, mushers who had access to the right community were making real, measurable progress every single season.
That makes a difference. Not just for your race results, but for the health of your dogs, the quality of your rides, and honestly? Your sanity.
Because you need one place. One trusted, comprehensive, no-fluff home base for everything dog mushing.
The world of mushing deserves better than scattered forums and outdated advice. Your dogs deserve an owner who has access to the best training, health, and community resources available.
And here’s what makes this different from everything else out there:
It works even if you’re brand new to mushing and still figuring out which end of the gangline to start with.
It works even if you’ve been mushing for 20 years and think you’ve heard it all (spoiler: you haven’t).
It works even if you live somewhere that only gets snow for three weeks a year and you’re running dryland the rest of the time.
It works even if you’re running a single dog on a bikejor trail or dreaming about a 16-dog Iditarod team someday.
Stay genuinely connected to the sport you love, keep your dogs healthier and performing better, never miss a key race, event, or training breakthrough again, and finally feel like you’re inside the mushing world rather than peeking through a frosted window at it.
Mushing Magazine wasn’t built in a boardroom by people who thought mushing sounded “marketable.”
It was built by people who actually smell like a dog and don’t consider that a problem.
Every episode, every article, every newsletter, every behind-the-scenes conversation was created with one question in mind: “What do mushers actually need to know?”
I’ve done the reading. Talked to the experts. Been on the trails. Made the embarrassing rookie mistakes, so you can skip straight to the part where you look like you know what you’re doing.
You could spend years hunting down the right information. Buy every mushing book ever written. Attend every clinic you can find. Cold-call veteran mushers until one of them takes pity on you.
I read through hundreds of resources, consulted experts at every level of the sport, and tested the training and health methods myself, with real dogs, on real trails, in real cold.
Use this to stay ahead of the mushing world in minutes, not months.
There’s no fluff. No bro-science. No advice from someone whose “sled dog experience” is watching a Disney movie.
You can use this even if you’ve never joined a mushing club. Even if you don’t have a kennel full of Alaskans. Even if your “team” is two rescue mutts who sometimes go in the right direction.
I built this membership by stripping out every single thing that wastes a musher’s time and keeping only what actually matters.
In-depth features. Inspiring stories. Training insights. Health tips. Community. Events. A podcast feed that doesn’t make you sit through ads for mattresses.
All of it. One place. Five dollars a month.
I’ve cut out the junk, the theory, the filler, and the content that clearly came from someone who Googled “what is mushing” twenty minutes before their deadline.
It truly is the one consistent shortcut you can use to stay sharp, connected, and inspired in the sport you love.
Seriously. Don’t spend years piecing this together yourself.
Don’t search through post after post in Facebook groups where the top comment is always someone’s uncle who “had a husky once.”
Don’t miss training breakthroughs because you didn’t have access to the right community at the right time.
I’ve made the mistakes. I’ve wasted the time. I’ve had moments of “wait, other mushers have known about this for HOW long?”
You can get all of that done-for-you and delivered straight to your inbox, your podcast app, and your community board every single month.
It’s like having an experienced, no-nonsense mushing mentor in your pocket. Except this mentor never cancels on you and doesn’t smell quite as much like wet dog.
(Actually no promises on that last one.)
For today, and I reserve the right to change this whenever I feel like it, you can get your full Monthly Mushing Membership for just $5 a month.
That’s it.
No catch. No upsell buried in the confirmation email. No “introductory rate” that secretly triples in month two.
Five dollars. Every month. Cancel whenever you want.
YES — I Want My Monthly Mushing Membership For $5/Month
Let me make this almost embarrassingly simple for you.
Here are a few more things waiting for you inside:
Because I want every musher, from the person who just bought their first sled harness to the veteran who’s been running dogs since before GPS was a thing, to have no excuse not to be part of this community.
I could charge more. Probably should. But the goal was never to build an exclusive club for people with big budgets. The goal was to build the best mushing resource on the planet and make it accessible to anyone who loves this sport.
Five dollars keeps this community growing. And a bigger, better community means better content, better connections, and better resources for you.
Everybody wins. Especially the dogs. (The dogs always win.)
There is genuinely no better $5 you’ll spend this month.

You either love it or you get your money back. That’s the whole deal.
This $5/month offer exists because I want to build the biggest, most engaged mushing community possible.
At some point, and I genuinely don’t know when, the price goes up as the value of the membership keeps growing.
The people who joined early will be locked in at $5. The people who waited will pay more for the same stuff.
