Short description
When a Miami dentist inherits a team of sled dogs, he's got to learn the trade or lose his pack to a crusty mountain man.
What's left behind the scenes
- Some of the dogs involved in the film also participated in the filming of Frank Marshall's “Eight Below” (2005).
- Dog trainers were constantly present on set, giving the dogs commands with gestures and sounds – to growl, lie down, sit, stand, and even dig. One scene shows the dogs lying and resting, when suddenly one of them starts digging and unearths a flask. The trainer had simply hidden treats in the snow near the flask and gestured for the dog to dig.
- In a nightmare scene, Ted's dogs are lounging on beach chairs wearing sunglasses. To prepare for this scene, each dog was assigned a dedicated trainer, and preparation took an entire month. Each dog had its own custom-fitted lounger and individual swimsuit. The trainers positioned the dogs on the loungers, put sunglasses on them, and stepped out of the frame, attracting the dogs' attention so they would look in different directions.
- All the dogs were pre-trained to work in harness. The snow covering the ground was real – unlike the snow falling from above.
- The film is set in Alaska, where the main character is attacked by a striped skunk. However, striped skunks are found in all US states except Alaska and Hawaii.
- Filming took place in the United States and Canada from January 29 to April 23, 2001.
