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

Such a fun experience would recommend to everyone!! We got to meet all of the dogs and they all had fun names which was cool to meet them all! You also learn a lot about how they race which was really cool as someone who never knew anything about it. The ride itself was so fun and everyone there was so nice and friendly they made our experience even better! Our guide also took really good photos of us!
Exceptional experience! Includes a great mix of education, action and snuggling puppies - what more could you want? The crew was also incredibly kind and knowledgeable.
Loved this tour. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and the dogs and puppies were absolutely adorable. We learned so much about the Iditarod and the dogs. Highly recommend!!
The AK Sled Dog Tours was one of the best activities that my wife and I did during our trip to Alaska. I was extremely impressed by the staffs knowledge, compassion, and enthusiasm about what they do for the dogs. It was entertaining to learn about the Iditarod race the dogs get to perform in and how several of them are actual winners! My favorite part of the visit was getting to do a dry sled run and actually be pulled on a wheeled sled by the dogs. It was great practice and exercise for the dogs aspiring to win the Iditarod race one day. My wife’s favorite part was getting to pet the race dogs who were well behaved and their puppies who were absolutely adorable. Kudos to this company and their employees (including the dogs) who make it such an amazing place to come to. I recommend that anyone who’s visiting Talkeetna,AK come check out the sled dogs and have one of the best experiences of their trip to Alaska.
All the dogs were super friendly, the guides were very helpful and enthusiastic, overall this was such a wonderful experience. The time spent was well worth the money and it was also very informative about the culture of the sport and care for the animals.
Wow! What an amazing experience. The dogs were amazing, the guide (Miguel) was very knowledgeable and kind and the place was so clean! Not to mention a super fun ride. Definitely worth it!!
Fantastic experience!! Our tour guide, Clark, was very accommodating and showed us the kennel of Dallas Seaver, a 6-time Iditarod winner and gave us background on all of the dogs and pointed out which dogs ran and won the big race. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions regarding the race. Additionally, getting a chance to drive our own 4-dog team was one of the highlights of our day. This excursion was a very good value for the money, we highly recommend this tour.
This was truly an amazing day. The people were very nice and very knowledgeable and very professional. I will never forget this experience. I loved petting the puppies and the dogs. Seeing them in action was incredible.
We had a fantastic experience. The guides and staff were top notch and professional. We learned so much about the dogs and the Iditarod. The dogs were adorable and so sweet and the cart ride was super fun. I would recommend this to anyone!!
This was a really interesting, informative and fun adventure. Ben introduced us to the beautiful Alaskan Huskies used in the Iditarod and told us about the 6 time winning team of Dallas Seavey. We learned about their breeding, training and selection of the 16 dogs who will run the race. These dogs are incredible athletes who just want to run. They are also incredibly sweet dogs who love lovin’. Then we mushed the dogs, which was exhilarating! A really unique and memorable experience. Highly recommend.
