Great Dogs, Great Host! - Tabitha was great, very well informed; and truly cared about the animals. The ride itself was great fun; not too fast, not too slow. Dogs were great!

Dog sledding in Fairbanks - Really fun experience! Tabitha and her dogs were awesome !! It’s a small operation but I’d prefer to support a small business!

Floofball fun in the snow! - Absolutely loved this! I had booked another one, which seemed more regimented, but changed to this as we're more into the doggos that the mushing itself. The place is pretty rustic, and you might end up covered in dog hair, but it was the highlight of our trip to Fairbanks to spend time with these rare dogs (and the bonus family ferrets).

It is NOT 2 hours. - There were few other options for dog mushing but we booked this higher priced your because it says it is 2 hours. Well, it was not. We were on sled for hardly 20 minutes, less than a mile. Whole things was over in about an 1 hour. Elsewhere we would have got same time on sled for much less.
