My partner and I did a 2 day excursion with Mad Dogs and Englishmen, camping 1 night in December 2011. We had a great time, it was alot of fun whisking along ontop of a frozen lake with a team of happy huskies, if that is not enough the scenery was just stunning. When camping our guides Rick and Roy... More

My husband and I returned to Canmore for the second time with full intent to dog sled! Our B&B hosts at Ambleside Lodge highly recommended Mad Dogs & Englishmen. We are so thankful they did as we were about to book with a bigger more commercialized company! Russell and Dawn and their guides were INCREDIBLE and so friendly! We actually... More

Great activity. The guides are truly outstanding and they make it personal. You can mush on your own and they take a good care to teach you how. We had a blast with our 3.5 year old who was mushing for an hour. We took 2h trip and I would recommend this as a minimum. The 1/2 day trip would... More

The booking process was so easy, the directions to spray lake to meet the teams were clear & travel time allowed was ample - this is important as you want to know you will be be there in good time. There is a wait whilst the dogs are harnessed up, the sounds of these dogs waiting to go is quite... More

What a way to experience winter in the Rockies! We were a group of 4 adults and 4 kids under 7, and it was a great day for all of us. We got to help harness the dogs and even my dog-shy 4 year old was in love with the barking mob by the end of our tour. Incredible scenery,... More

If you are looking for a great memory filled day, we cannot recommend this enough. It was better than previous trips we have taken because it was just us and our guide , Russell - one sled. Much more personal and no waiting for slower people ( other companies run more than one sled ). After starting off with me... More

What a wonderful way to spend a "winter" day! We went out this morning on panoramic Spray Lake with Roy as our guide. Roy was knowledgable, the dogs friendly and very eager and the hot chocolate warm! We loved being able to harness dogs and hook up the sleds then unharness and put them in their kennels for a rest!... More

Our family went out yesterday with Roy and Cassandra on our 2 hour tour. I just can’t say enough how much fun we had, your dogs are beautiful and your guides were absolutely the best. Both Roy and Cassandra were so amazing, they explained everything, let us help and feel a part of things. They told us all about the... More

The owner was there as our tour guide and he was very friendly and informative. This is a family run business and you can tell that they really care about the dogs and... More
