During the summer and fall months, the dog kennel is split between Fairbanks and Homer, AK. The veteran dogs stay in Fairbanks, where North Star Dog Mushing provides both half-hour and full-hour tours to guests on a side-by-side UTV for up to 5 people at once. The tour offers the opportunity to meet and greet the awesome sled dog athletes, see the home kennel where the dogs live, learn about the life of a sled dog and dog musher, hear race and trail stories, and potentially meet some puppies! The younger dogs (aged 0-3) are in Homer where they are receiving their sled dog “basic” training - learning the proper behaviors and manners of being a part of a sled dog team, receiving leader training opportunities, and having lots of time loose where they get to romp around.
