Awesome! Just GO!! - This was the best adventure of our trip to Alaska. We had selected this particular tour because it lets you mush the digs yourself. It was truly a thrill. The guides and educators were so friendly and taught is a great deal while also making the experience easy for is and safe.

A must-do in Alaska - Great fun! We drove our own sled dog team. Learned all about the skills it takes to navigate on a trail. Bumpy (gravel/rocks) and felt like an authentic experience. The tour of the kennel and dogs, including the pups, was unforgettable. Highly recommend!

"Highest Peak of Dog Love" - Dallas Seavey's team of champions delivers again. It was great to see dogs we had previously met at Dallas' Colorado kennel. This Alaskan sled dog kennel must be seen in person to truly understand what loving dogs is all about. We also got to meet some of the team's newest members, seven puppies. You must go here. An unforgettable experience. Thank you to your team for another great Alaskan experience. Pershing and Christina Markle Colorado Springs, CO

Fantastic experience! - This was a fantastic experience. My family of 5 enjoyed this so much! Abby was super fun and so great with our family. They pick you up downtown (30 minutes before) your tour and take you out to the kennel. You get half the time touring the kennel meeting dogs and the other half mushing through the woods. You get to switch drivers twice during the mush. Fantastic experience all the way around!

You should book this! - Cheyenne was a wonderful tour guide! She made us all feel comfortable right away! We enjoyed the whole experience of being pulled by the dog sled team around the trail through the woods, meeting the dogs, holding the puppies and learning all about the Iditerod and racing champion Dallas Seaver, who owns the kennel. Cheyenne was a wealth of knowledge and gave us great recommendations for the rest of our day in Talkeetna.
