Ultimate Dogsledding Experience, Oxford

To say that Alex Therriault was raised by dogs is a bit of an overstatement, but not much. The owner of Ultimate Dog Sledding Experience started dog-sled racing at the tender age of 3 and has continued the family tradition ever since. Along the way, he's picked up numerous awards, including a 4th place finish in the World Championships in 2011. 

At Ultimate Dog Sledding Experience, Alex and his staff have hand-raised the entire furry brood of well-mannered huskies. After introductions between two- and four-legged participants, the friendly dogs lead fast-paced romps across well-maintained trails surrounded by scenic vistas.
