Take a glimpse into the traditional life of a sleddog in Interior Alaska. The lineage of these dogs traces back to when the first Native Alaskans/Inuit people inhabited the Arctic. We also have dogs from the Canadian/Greenland Arctic regions and promote the subsistence lifestyle of those Arctic cultures. These dogs will show you what they have been born and bred to do as pack animals, while we have been stewards of their care for the past centuries, maintaining this heritage. Witness the outright enthusiasm these dogs have for doing what they love!

Q&A

Q: What’s the age limit for kids to join this sled dog excursion?

A: Kids as young as 5 can join the sled dog excursion! It's a great family-friendly experience. Just remember, younger kids might need some extra supervision since the dogs can be pretty energetic. Make sure they’re dressed warmly since it can get chilly out there!

Q: Can I reschedule if the weather turns bad?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the weather isn’t safe for sledding! Howling Bay Kennel is really flexible with that. Just reach out to them directly at least a day ahead to find another time slot that works for you. They want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable experience!

Q: What should I wear for the sled dog excursion?

A: Dress in layers! It's best to wear thermal underwear, a warm jacket, gloves, and a hat. Sometimes it's chilly even if the sun's out. Waterproof boots are also a must if there’s snow on the ground. Trust me, you don't want cold feet while you're out there with the dogs!

Just booked the Alaskan Sled Dog Excursion!

I’m so excited! I got this as a gift for my partner for our anniversary. We both love dogs and outdoor adventures. The fact that it’s in Fairbanks makes it even cooler. I'm a bit nervous about the cold though! What should I expect in terms of the experience? Any tips on making it more special would be appreciated!

Who else has done the sled dog excursion in Fairbanks?

I’m thinking of gifting this to my friend who’s been wanting to try something new and adventurous. I heard they provide warm drinks, which is awesome! Do they let you interact with the dogs before or after the sledding? Just wanna make sure it’ll be a great experience!
