how would a sled dog team pull a sled without harness or leashes??????

It's just a different type of sledding.

Answer 3

Open team means you can have as many dogs on the team as you want.  As apposed to a limited team which limits the number or type of dogs you can use.

Free running is running with no harness or leash, usually alongside a snowmobile or similar vehicle and in a wide open space far from cars
