The winter Alaska dog sledding season usually runs from January through March, with the famous Iditarod race held in early March. In summer, your Alaska dog sledding tour may be given in a wheeled cart rather than on snow, or on a glacier. To avoid disappointment, be sure you know what you're getting when you reserve an Alaska dog sledding tour. Things to consider and ask about include where you'll be going and how long the tour will last, whether you'll be riding along or driving the dogs yourself, and what special clothing or equipment you need to bring along. And, of course, price. It takes a lot of chow to keep the Huskies mushing, and these trips don't come cheap.

Dog mushing in the Alaskan wilderness requires absolute trust between man and animal which can only be gained through a thorough understanding of animal care and training. In our Alaska Dog Mushing School you will learn from experienced mushers the skills to run your own dog team. Your training will include practical hand's on instruction regarding the care and feeding of sled dogs, theories of dog team building, voice commands, plus training and operating a dog team on the trail.
