Owner description:
Snowy Owl Sled Dog Tours offers the only first class dog sledding experience in the Rockies! *We provide humane dog care to our husky team focusing on respect not neglect: we have always emphasized the importance of our four-legged team being friends first and work associates second.*Our core group of lead instructors have combined experience of over 70 years in the dog sled touring and expedition industry. Feel at ease knowing that your tour is being led by industry experts. *In addition to being certified in First Aid and CPR, all of our instructors receive extensive training where they learn about each dog on two different levels, before they even step foot on a sled. On a personal level each instructor and husky must create a lasting bond that is based on love and respect. We establish these bonds by becoming a reliable source of love and care as well as focusing on each husky as an individual. From a working perspective, this includes name, age, family and breed history, feed and hydration needs, dog team position, harness size, work ethic, disposition, and veterinary requirements. *Our company celebrates friendly, pure touring huskies which are the real heroes of our team and the real roots of the sled dog sport. Our crew is highly respected in working with the historic Seppala Siberian sled dog, the beautiful Siberian Husky, the mysterious Canadian Indian Husky, the traditional Canadian Inuit Husky, and powerful Alaskan Malamute. In the touring industry the authentic pure breeds are, in many ways, more beneficial when compared to the cross bred racing dogs.*Our dog training program is focused on acceptance amongst each other in order to create the most responsive, reliable and trustworthy teams. Power and speed can be fun, however when uncontrolled can be dangerous. We focus on real, outdoor training where socialization within the team, responding to commands, and real trail situation are of the utmost importance. *Professionally groomed and well maintained mountain trail systems to ensure guest and husky safety at all times and to suit all weather and snow conditions. Take comfort knowing we take great care in providing you with the safest experience. *Our professional and knowledgeable reservations team offers you personalized service based on your specific needs and requests. We provide you with the highest level of customer service to ensure that you have the best possible experience, prior to and even after your dog sledding adventure. *Travel in comfort in our durable handcrafted sleds lined with 4 inches of foam padding, warm duvet blankets and a water and wind resistant sled bag with safety buckles. Our equipment is examined daily by our lead instructors to ensure that everything, including the breaks, lines, sled, harnesses, snub line, and snow hook are in proper working order. *Our sled configurations are based on what our happy sled dogs can respectably pull. It is not our goal to profit from overloaded sleds at the risk of compromising the safety of our guest and huskies. *We provide all our guest with an informative introduction and instruction session at the beginning of every tour as opposed to “learn-as-you-go” methods. We understand that learning to drive a dog team is important and crucial to you prior to actually participating in the sport, providing you with a much more enjoyable and safer experience, before the sleds are actually moving! *In addition to many other fabulous amenities, we supply guest with a simple and warming camp fire on all our programs! This allows guests to gather round a cozy camp fire as they sip their hot beverage and delicious snack or lunch! Guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Spray Lakes and exciting stories from our expert Insructors!*Our husky heroes sport beautiful, comfortable sled dog “uniforms”! They truly are stunning in their new custom, top of the line collars and harnesses! *We provide first class round trip transportation in our spacious 2011 Mercedes Sprinter vans! Since our visitors are coming dressed for cold temperatures, we know how essential it is to provide a relaxing and comfortable trip to and from our dog sledding area!

Owner description:
Howling Dog Tours is a family-run operation out of Canmore Alberta and offers visitors a unique outdoor adventure. The company runs tours in the majestic Rocky mountains, near Canmore, Banff and Kananaskis Country, which combine spectacular alpine scenery with the fun of a dogsled ride. Whether you prefer to sit back as a passenger or attempt to lead your own husky team with the help of your guide, the experience is truly unforgettable. There is plenty of interaction with the Alaskan and Siberian huskies, snacks and beverages, and a professional guide on each sled. Howling Dog offers a variety of tours, ranging from two-hour trips to half-day adventures, and can create custom trips for groups and corporations. Howling Dog Tours Ltd. is based out of Canmore, Alberta, and is not affiliated with the B.C. company with a similar name.Each tour begins with a complimentary pick up in Banff or Canmore, followed by a scenic drive to the site in the back country of the Canadian Rockies. Upon arrival to the site, guests are given a brief introduction, as well as safety talk prior to being assigned to a guide. Each sled is professionally guided for the guests safety and comfort. It is company policy to only run guided sleds; it is the best way to control a dog team and still give the customer a chance to take a turn driving the team, decreasing the risk of injury to dogs and guests! The guides will make sure that each guest has appropriate gear, and if required, snow boots, pants, jackets and hats will be loaned to the guest for the tour duration - no charge! Once the guests are ready, the introduction to the team happens, where each person is encouraged to learn the dogs names, and help harness a dog. Guests are then allowed to help while the guide hooks up the dogs to the lines in front of the sled. The dogs, when walked to the line, may be lifted up to walk on their back feet - this is done to control the pressure of the collar on the neck, because the are so strong and want to pull (we call this "taking them out of 4-wheel drive!). Once out on the trail, there is plenty of time to learn more about each dog and the breed in general. The breeds you will see are the Alaskan, Siberian, and Seppala Husky. There are Iditarod and Yukon Quest veterans to meet as well as retired sprint racing dogs, still full of energy and always raring to go! Snacks and hot beverages are offered at the mid-way point of the tours. The dogs are rewarded at the end of the tour with a biscuit and bowl of water - hugs are allowed too! Each trip ends by offering for purchase (optional) a photo of the moving team and guests, taken at the start of the tour - the only photo you can't get yourself! Take some time to get the names of your team written on the back, so you can remember them for a lifetime!
