To increase the acceleration of the dog sled, the correct response would be:

add another dog to the sled

This is because adding another dog increases the force being applied to pull the sled, which, according to Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), would result in greater acceleration, assuming the mass of the sled itself remains constant.

The other options would either increase mass or create a force that opposes the direction of motion, ultimately reducing acceleration.
