Maryland Sled Dog Adventures dog sledding team hard at work

Our dog sledding team is comprised of six to seven Siberian Huskies and Siberian Husky mixes. Our dogs come from shelters, rescues, and Siberian Husky breeders. Occasionally, we also have a few visiting sled dogs. For more information on all of our sled dogs, visit our dogs page.

The off season is a time for the dogs to recover and relax.

For 2013 - 2014, have a new lead dog, Vale, and a visiting team dog, Lumos, running with the team.

We also do special events involving dog sledding including delivering Santa Claus, childrens' birthday parties and classroom visits to schools in the Baltimore, Maryland area. Our classroom programs on dog sledding are particularly appropriate for classes reading books by Robert Blake including Akiak and Togo, Gary Paulson's Dog Team, and Jack London's classic Call of the Wild and classes studying Iditarod. If you are a small school group (10 to 20 kids), we also offer dog sledding field trips. We've even visited local libraries with our sled dogs. Visit our tours page for more information or contact us for more information.

Got a high energy dog? Want to learn how to mush with your own dog? Check out our unique Run What You Brung program on our Tours page and try dog sledding with your own dog. Our Run What You Brung program provides introductory sled dog training for dogs that have not mushed before.

So I'm sure by now you are thinking: This is Maryland, what if there is no snow? Temperatures permitting, even when there is no snow, we can still go. When not running on snow, which is much of the time here in central Maryland, we dog sled using our three wheel and four wheel dog sled rigs (click for picture). In mushing, a wheeled cart used for dog sledding when there is no snow is called a “rig” or a “gig.” Our larger rig allows us to carry a passenger seated on dog sledding tours and dog sled rides. The larger rig can be seen in our dog sledding gallery, which has pictures from past programs.

Do you have an adventurous spirit? Do you love dogs? Want to spend four days dog sledding on snow through the scenic Maine woods? If so, check out our special women's only Maine Winter Cabin Adventure and then email Catherine for more information and to register. Space is limited to only four participants.
