I've toured with Howling Dog Tours of Canmore for 3 years now. I coordinate events on a voluntary basis with our local outdoor club and this is always a popular event in our club. We book the Unleash the Musher Tour as it is a great deal - we also get a discount for having more than 10 people -... More

If you are visiting the Rockies stop off on your way through, you will not be disappointed.

I did research on a number of dogsledding tour companies for my recent vacation in Banff and chose Howling Dog because of their promise of interaction with the dogs and half-day (4 hour) option. They definitely did not disappoint. The company allows you to help harness a dog before the trip, feed them bait water and dog biscuits at the... More

The dog sled journey was very good with even a "pooper scooper" on a snowmobile following the dogs. The dogs did what they were intended to do, and that is run. I was impressed with how well the dogs... More
