Mush Your Own Sled Dog Team (Summer/Fall Tour)

Overview

This is the only place in Alaska where you can mush your own team of dogs in the summer!

This is not a just a tour kennel; it is the training grounds and homestead of 4-time Iditarod champion, Dallas Seavey. All the dogs are either retired racing dogs (many have won the Iditarod), are currently on the race team, or are the next generation in training to become the next great champions! Our dogs are active and training year-round. As a guest musher here, you become part of Dallas Seavey Racing's year-round training program.

The group size for this experience is usually 6 or less people, with a guide assigned to each group, creating a very personal experience.

All of our dogs are extremely friendly, and love attention. Cuddle puppies, romp with young dogs, or walk with champions.

This is not only the coolest group of trained professional Dogs & Sled Team, but Overall Champions! Surf & Maui led my Team & my life time fishing partner's sled across the packed snow like just a simple warm up compared to the normal 5 hour 50 mile run at one time they are trained to perform over & over again during the races! All of the staff accommodated us going Above & Beyond to experience God, Man's Best Friends (Beautiful Dogs) & Love for People & ALASKA!

What a fantastic afternoon we had. Upon arrival, we were outfited with warmer clothes to go on top of our existing winter clothes. We had a short lesson and then met our sled dog team. Actual Iditarod champion dogs were apart of our five dog team. My husband mushed first, and I sat on the seat. What a feeling! The dogs are so powerful and fast. We traveled through a winter wonderland of plowed trails. After two miles, we switched riders. At first, I was scared and hesitant, but as soon as I mushed, it felt really easy and manageable. I loved every minute. It did feel a little short, but it's also really cold, so it probably makes sense about their time limit. Afterwards, we got to practice taking off the harness and put the dogs into their "kennels." Then, we got to run around with five 3 month old puppies! You can't get much cuter than that.... until, we got to hold one week old puppies! The handlers were amazing! They answered so many questions and shared lots of stories. All were gracious and kind. I'd definitely recommend this tour!

The experience and ride was beyond my expectations and unforgettable. The staff was super friendly, informative and their passion for the sport of Dog Mushing is contagious. Definitely would do it again if I am back to Alaska! Highly recommended!
