My parents and I visited Pauliina and her beautiful Huskies and we had an amazing time.
Pauliina is a really friendly and nice woman. She showed us her dogs and told us a bit about each of them.
It was very inspiring to see what kind of special relationship she has whit every single one of the Huskies.
We can definitly recommend to book one of Happy Huskies offers!
Maybe we will come back in the future during winter time to have another experience.
Best regards from Germany!

We discovered this beautiful place at the end of our trip in Inari. It was a very last minute booking and Pauliina had the kindness to find an agreement so we would be able to experience the two hours husky sleigh ride. These two hours felt absolutely amazing. We went on a refreshing tour in the nature covered in snow. The dogs were really excited and running quite fast (we actually had to make them slow down !). After the ride, we could spend time with the lovely and playful huskies. But also talked with the owner and her coworker around a cozy fire. It was very pleasant, we could feel how deeply they love the huskies here. These big babies are in good hands !

It was obvious that these dogs were well cared for. It was a truly amazing experience, one we will treasure for a life time.
Happy Huskies were the highlight of our holiday.

Pauliina gave us a fantastic tour of her kennels and we met all of the dogs. You can tell she truly loves her animals and cares deeply about their care and happiness. Very impressed with her stories and she’s even won some gold medals! A must do if you are near.

As we were passing by Ivalo in our campervan, I contacted Pauliina whether it would still be possible on such short term to visit her husky farm and hopefully do an activity. She reacted very fast and was so friendly. I ended up visiting her kennel on Friday late afternoon and planning to come back in the morning of the 8th of june for a husky walk. I already loved everything about the kennel visit on Friday. Paulina is very friendly and she told so much about life with the huskies and taking care of them and all the dogs histories and and character traits. Already from the start it felt wonderful to be there. Several of the huskies were walking around, and with around 20 dogs, all was so relaxed and well taken care of. It was very nice to see the big space all the dogs had and that they could come out to play amongst each other and have time together with us. I could already get to know the different characters of the dogs a bit.

The next morning temperature had dropped, so Pauliina already texted me that we could possibly go for a cart ride. I felt SO lucky!!
We went for a cart ride and I loved every minute of it! She explained a lot about the training of the huskies and about doing the races in winter. After the cart ride, we had some time again with the dogs and then had coffee and freshly baked cinnamon buns at the fire, it was lovely!! Both Pauliina and the dogs were great!! It was a wonderful and very personal experience and I hope So much to return in early winter!!
All the best from Gianina!

We’ve had the best day with Pauliina and her husky’s. Pauliina welcomed us with a big smile and was very friendly. You can tell she truly loves her dogs and takes great care of them, which we value very much. It was a wonderful ride through the beautiful nature and we ended with a little cuddle time with the dogs and a hot choco. Pauliina was keen on telling us how she started and all about her journey. It was a lovely experience and we would definitely recommend!
