The tour was a great experience, and meeting the dogs and - especially the tiny puppies - was wonderful. We like very much that we could drive the carts ourselves. We learned a lot about the Iditarod race and how the champions prepare. :-) Our friends liked our photos so much that they joined another tour two days later. ;-)

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.

When I planned my vacation to Alaska, I did not book a sled dog tour. I’m an animal lover who has volunteered at shelters and felt like I would struggle seeing “working” dogs- and dogs being bred. After chatting with a couple from Chicago about their experience with Dallas Seavey’s dogs, I was persuaded to give it a try, I have to tell you that learning more about these dogs, their work and the Iditarod really changed my perspective on working dogs. All teams may not be as blessed as those owned by Seavey- but I’m pleased my money helps support his team. If you are someone questioning how you might feel about this experience, rest assured you will come away feeling great about supporting this team and enjoying learning about these beautiful creatures.

We held our Fall Managers Meeting at AK Sled Dogs and it was such a memorable experience! The outdoor venue provided plenty of space for everyone to spread out, mix and mingle, and even enjoy some team games. The sled dog rides were a huge highlight, and spending time with the puppies brought smiles all around. We capped off the day making s'mores around the fire. If you’re looking for a unique Alaskan experience that combines fun activities, beautiful outdoor space, and of course, amazing sled dogs—this is it. Highly recommend!

Great experience, fun and loved seeing the care of all the dogs. The dry dog sledding was lots of fun. They let us wear mud boots for those pockets of rain water. Thx to Camón for the great time.

Awesome time We enjoyed meeting the dogs and then going with a few of them, some Iditarod Champions, on a sledding adventure
