Very good explanation of the care, training & utilization of dogs. We were able to experience the dogs pulling us thru a trail. Tabatha was very informative , personable & you could see the enjoyment & love for the dogs. Mikey was also knowledgeable & enthusiastic. His explanation enhanced our experience

The world of Alaskan sled Dogs

Exception experience

Such an awesome experience! We live local and have gotten to visit a few different sled dogs, but this was great! The kids got lots of time riding and visiting with the pups! Very friendly family!

These Dogs Didn’t Really ‘Pull’ Much

Robert_N, Jul 2025

Great dogs in a remote location, but the dogs really didn’t ’pull’ us as they were hooked up to a UTV we were in with the UTV doing most of the pulling.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. It is advertised appropriately stating ATVs are used. Motor assist is used in temperatures above 40F with almost every ethical sleddog kennel during the summer tourist season, so the dogs do not overheat.

Wonderful experience!

Hello all, We highly recommend this experience in the summer or winter. The owner of the dogs (Tabitha) was absolutely a wonderful host to us. She showed us her world with the dogs, knew an incredible amount about the profession, and let us interact with the dogs throughout the experience. We went out on a quad to have the dogs pull us and they were amazing! This was surely a highlight of our time in Alaska this August. Thanks Tabitha!!!!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for visiting with us! Glad to hear that your experience here was enjoyable!

Great dog mushing experience

Learning about dog sledding/ racing was quite informative. Loved interacting with the dogs. We learned so much

Joy overload

A very intimate tour of the beautiful property. I got the chance to interact with so many gorgeous friendly dogs, and I watched them gleam with excitement at the chance to run. I learned so much about raising them, their different personalities and lifestyles. I loved being shown the sleds, the harnesses, the mechanics of how they’re attached. I loved learning the different commands and watching how they respond to the owner. It was a once in a lifetime magical experience.
