Mush your own sled dog team in Alaska’s summer! Join Iditarod champion Dallas Seavey’s training grounds for an unforgettable, hands-on adventure with friendly, champion dogs.
- Talkeetna - You will be picked up in downtown Talkeetna by our shuttle, and driven out to the kennel by a knowledgeable guide.
After arriving at the kennel, watch as your team of dogs are hooked up to one of our dryland mushing rigs or the 6 seat ATV preferred training method for long distance races.
You will then take off, following or riding with one of our experienced mushing guides, on a 45-minute mush through our beautiful, private, heavily-forested racing trails.
Halfway through the mush, your group will arrive at a checkpoint and give the canines a short water break. This a great time to snap some photos with your dog team.
After your team has cooled off, we will prepare for the 20 minute mush back to the kennel.
Back in the kennel, get a picture with your team and give them a final pat before walking through the kennel and learning all about how these world-class athletes live, play, and train, from puppy to retiree.
Walk with the dogs, or just have a seat and snuggle a puppy in our giant run pen.
You can visit the gift shop and check out Dallas Seavey’s Iditarod trophy display before heading back to Talkeetna.

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.
