DogGoneIt Dog Mushing Demonstration and Kennel Tour

Guided Tour from Denali to Cantwell - Get the paw-ty started! Your three hour experience begins with transportation services provided by DogGoneIt, where you will be picked up from your hotel lobby by Caitlin who will regale you with her vast knowledge of the area, as well as personal stories of living in Alaska as you travel alongside the gorgeous Nenana River carving its way through the majestic Alaska Range. Meet the Pups - A Real Treat Once you arrive at the kennel, you’ll paw-sitively melt when you are met by armfuls of adorable Alaskan Husky puppies! You will be given plenty of time to snuggle and take pictures with our newest pack members. Once your puppy fix has been fully satiated you’ll venture into the dog yard where you’ll meet the big dogs. Here, you will experience the thrill of a team taking off on a training run. A live presentation enhanced with pictures and videos from the trail offers a deep dive into the lives of these incredible athletes, culminating with the team thundering back into the kennel. Once you are experts on all things Alaskan Husky, you will make your way into our theater, where it’s race time! Using photos and video Caitlin will take you through the intensive process of preparing for, and ultimately racing, the longest sled dog race in the world: The Iditarod! Spanning over 1,000 miles, the race is a true testament to the character, will, and spirit that embodies what it means to be an Alaskan. The Tail End You will be given ample time for questions, a chance to peruse our gift shop, and of course, the opportunity to visit with our puppies before you head out on your next adventure. We pride ourselves on being the hardest place to leave, and promise that your journey with us will last well beyond your visit. “People have historically travelled to Alaska looking for gold. But life has taught me that the value of gold pales in comparison to the only commodity truly worth anything: TIME! And there is nothing I want to do more with my time, than to share it with you, our guests.” -Mike Santos
