Best dog sled experience ever! What a wonderful experience! We did a 60 minutes dig sled tour and it was so amazing and also highly informative & interesting. Our musher was super nice and had so many great information to share about the dogs, races and everything else about mushing. I cannot imagine a better dog sled tour and am so grateful we could to the tour with Trail Breaker Kennel. I cannot recommend them highly enough! We felt really well cared for, it was so obvious what a great relationship the team had with the dogs and it was just a perfect experience.

Best Dog Sled Adventure in Alaska! What would an Alaskan trip be without experiencing a dog sledding adventure? I was lucky enough to find Trail Breaker Kennel and had the absolute best time. The dogs were truly awesome and Katrina was an amazing guide. Words can't describe how exhilariting the experience was. Can't wait to go back!

such a fantastic time with the pups and Tekla It was such a pleasure meeting Tekla and seeing all the wonderful pups. She really took the time to explaining the care of the dogs. 44 loud and excited, wanting to play dogs :) then she explained how the dogs are lined up behind the sled and we started to hook them up. Then they really got excited, like "LET ME GO, LET ME GO>>>" lol Then her father came out, and with them hooked up to a 4-runner ATV ( Minus an engine, since the pups are the engine LOL Then went off for a couple mile run. When they got back we un-hooked them and off into the river they went to cool off. Then it was feeding time. . If you are ever in the fairbanks area, You have to call the trail breaker kennel and go visit these outstanding animals. Plus, if your lucky enough to get Tekla to be your guide, you will be in for a great time!!

Business Response:

Excellence Visited today with my mother who has always wanted to do dog sledging in Alaska and being her 65 bday this year we managed to visit Fairbanks. This was the most amazing experience ever visiting such a brilliant well kept and maintained kennel. The owner/s should be very proud of their staff their especially Katrina who took us out on the sledge. She was really knowledgable and loved everything about her role and her job she had such a passion. Katrina made it a memory of a life time and being so close to Fairbanks was perfect great location. I would recommend these guys a million percent you will not be disappointed. Thank you to Katrina and everyone else who works there.

Amazing Experience We did the nighttime aurora dogsled tour, and had an amazing night! Christine and Katrina made sure that we had what we needed to stay warm before setting out (thank goodness; what we had would not have been adequate). They are great people who clearly love their dogs! We learned so much about dog sledding, and loved meeting these extremely friendly dogs! The ride in the sled was amazing. The dogs were so eager - you can tell they just love to run. And rushing along through the night like that is just unforgettable. They had a spot set up with a fire, and had hot drinks and snacks available while we waited to see the northern lights. My husband and I really enjoyed our conversation with Katrina there - learned so much about dog sledding and Fairbanks (among many other topics!). Just as we were about to head back, the aurora did make an appearance for us, but at that point, it was just icing on the cake. It really was an unforgettable experience, and we are so glad we did this with Trail Breaker Kennels. If we get back to Fairbanks (and we hope to eventually), we'll be back.

Business Response:

Our personal Iditarod. My wife and I had an excellent time with the dog sled ride at Trail Breaker Kennel -- even though it was -17 degrees. Christine and Katrina were great -- very personable and obviously they enjoy their work. You shouldn't miss this experience!
