Our guides were excellent! They truly love their dogs. Our time with them went way too quickly. The first part of the trip they explained the history and sport. The second part we got to meet the dogs and go for a ride. I highly recommend this experience! You can’t help falling in love with all the dogs!

What a great experience! We did this as a last-minute excursion, but so happy we did! Robert and Jay provided a wealth of knowledge and history regarding dog sledding in Alaska. We had a fabulous time. The dogs were awesome, and the puppies were adorable! Great experience and highly recommend!

What a great time getting to experience one of Alaska’s great treasures- dogsledding!! Robert and Jae have raced at the highest levels of competition and were more than willing to share their expertise with us. Their energy was only surpassed by that of their dogs who wanted nothing more than to pull us in a buggy suitable for dry terrain. After being whisked around the track, we were able to meet and pet all of the dogs, including Yoda and Leia- two of their puppies aptly named, having been born on May the Fourth. We highly recommend you go see Robert, Jae, and all of their dogs for a safe, energetic and family-friendly adventure in Anchorage!!

Dogsledding history and puppies!

Julie_H, Sep 2025

We were lucky to squeeze in a visit before our flight and had a great time! We learned a lot about the history of dogsledding and the Iditarod. Robert and Jai have great experience and knowledge to share and, of course, loved introducing us to their dogs. We got a quick run on the sled - and saw how powerful the dogs are - before getting to meet them individually and even give a few belly rubs! And the puppies were precious! Highly recommend this experience!

Great experience

A peak Alaskan experience

Coley_S, Aug 2025

Really awesome experience. The folks that run this tour are super friendly, knowledgeable, and you can tell they enjoy what they do. Getting pulled around in the cart by the dogs was great. You can tell they REALLY want to run. All of the dogs are friendly, and each have their own personality.

Automatic reminders need tweaking!!

The tour was cancelled. What I don’t understand is why I continued to receive notifications to be there and then be contacted repeatedly to rate my experience.

Incredible experience!

1st time experience with dog sledding. Also got to pet those awesome huskies after the ride. Highly recommended.

Awesome experience!!

Anonymous, Aug 2025

It was awesome to learn about the history of dog sledding and actually doing the dog sledding itself. Plus you get to pet the dogs at the end that’s always a plus .. pro tip don’t spend so much time recording as they will be recording you especially in the end because it looks much better when you don’t have the phone in your hand recording and you’re actually enjoying the experience lol

Matthew_B, Aug 2025

The guides are very informative and have deep knowledge of dog sled racing history and actual experience racing sleds. You get to meet the dogs, take a ride with them pulling a wheeled sled, then cuddle with a couple puppies. Great fun!! Definitely worth the time.

My favorite activity- 5++ stars!

Justyna_D, Aug 2025

I had an extraordinary experience meeting true enthusiasts and experts in the field. Their passion and knowledge were truly inspiring, making the event both enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend it to all dog lovers!

Fun activity!

Tobin_M, Jul 2025

Thank you, Jay and Robert! We had fun today! This one hour activity is split in half, the first 30 minutes are spent inside the building learning about the history of sled dog racing in Alaska, and the second half is spent outside meeting the dogs and puppies. It includes a four minute ride behind the dogs in a cart around the track. It really lets you feel the power of the dogs! Robert’s grandfather was the father of the Iditarod and integral to getting it started. His brother won the Iditarod and his uncle won the world champion sprinting race. This met our needs as it was easily accessible since it is in Anchorage and because it was a fraction of the cost of a the glacier dog sledding. We got our puppy fix today with Princess Leia and Baby Yoda, they were the cutest!

Thanks so much! You 2 are awesome!!!

Nicholas_E, Jul 2025

Dogsled Alaska is incredible. So attentive in all parts of the tour. Great how close they are to Anchorage. Loved every part of the experience! You can tell this is their passion; honored to be witnessed to it. The doggies love belly rubs and butt scratchies!

Way too overpriced for a...

Bonny_K, Jul 2025

Way too overpriced for a four-minute ride. They said that the dogs couldn’t run longer on a day over 50 degrees, so then lower the price!

Dedication!!

Holly_H, Jul 2025

That's what you'll see and feel when you partake in this experience! As a former husky owner I've always been enchanted with the Ididerod and this was a chance to get up close and personal with both musher and the team. Especially loved the puppies!

Had a Great Time!

grzybowskic, Jul 2025

J and Robert were very knowledgeable and own the dogs that are used in the run. The run is very bumpy and short but by the end you want to go again. Smile. The puppies were sweet and special. Very good excursion.!

So Much Fun!!

Great experience in Anchorage! It was fun learning the history, getting to meet the dogs and puppies, and going on a short ride. Thanks for the great experience!

Such a great experience!

Cozette_W, Jul 2025

Robert and Jay are so friendly, passionate and knowledgeable about mushing! I had a great time and the dogs are amazing. I learned a ton about the sport and who doesn’t want to pet dogs and puppies!
