Steps on how to use a sled dog harness?

I need steps in chronological order on how to hook up/attach/use a sled dog harness. It’s for a project and i can’t find anything! Please help!
I dont need sarcastic comments or people telling me to do my own homework…if u wanna post a link thats really helpful or give me ideas on what to search, otherwise stop posting stupid answers to get points.

I can’t give you ‘steps’ becuase each musher has there own system for hooking up a team. For example; some harness all the dogs first, then move them into position. Others harness in team. Not to mention there are a variety of harnesses being used by mushers today, and they have slightly different set ups for running.

What I can give you are some really good links on the basic set up of a sled dog team:
