Dog sledding courses

You will complete a basic course in mushing, the art of driving a Husky team, with a sled or all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) followed by a 2-hour training tour.

We begin by introducing the dog breed and our pack. You can watch them in the kennel while learning about pack behavior and the training of sled dogs. This is followed by instructions on driving techniques as well as safety when training dogs. Depending on the weather, we will introduce an all-terrain-vehicle or sled and practice steering and braking. Afterwards, we will equip each participant with a team of 4 Huskies and harness them. Provided with our expertise, you will learn how to drive your team of dogs during a 2-hour tour.

Returning to the Husky farm, the dogs will be praised watered and you will be shown how to correctly unharness them. After the active part of the program, you now have the chance to be close to the Huskies and enter the kennels. Here, in their safe haven, a calm and restrained behavior is asked of the “visitors”. We will allow the dogs to approach us and enjoy the cuddles of these lovable animals. Be surprised by who choses you!

You will surely take home many long-lasting memories from this eventful day.
