Description: The Sled Dog Summer Kennel Tour is a one hour educational experience where your guide will give you a glimpse into the life of a dog musher in Alaska. You will learn about all aspects of the sport of dog mushing including the types of mushing, breeds of sled dogs, the ethics of mushing, dog care basics, feeding and nutrition, and much more! Of course you will meet several sled dogs and have plenty of time to pet all of them! This tour does not include a dryland dog ride.

Description: The dryland dog sled ride gives our guests the opportunity to meet and take a ride with our incredible canine athletes in the summer.  You will learn about all aspects of the sport of dog mushing including the types of mushing, breeds of sled dogs, the ethics of mushing, dog care basics, feeding and nutrition, and much more!  Your guide will then teach you to harness and hook the sled dogs to the side by side you will ride in.  This tour allows you to experience the excitement and energy of a large (10-12) team of sled dogs.  We take a short lap (10 minutes) around our track and let the dogs cool down in our pools afterwards.   

**Note:  We take the safety of our dogs during hot summer temperatures extremely seriously.  We limit our dryland dog rides to temperatures below 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  If temperatures are above our safety limit, we will be unable to offer the “dog ride” portion of the tour.  If we are unable to offer you the dryland ride portion of the tour, you have two options: We can substitute the ride for a “free run” with the dogs where we will cut the dogs loose of their tethers for a walk through our track with our guests.  Or we can offer a 50% refund and charge for the Summer Sled Dog Kennel Tour only.  Thank you for your understanding!
