Resources on dog sledding
Sometimes our Northern breed dogs take a break from dog sledding: here, Okemo, our Siberian Husky - Akita mix (aka siberkita) swims in Virginia
It's the famous swimming siberkita.
The sled dog team looks excited to hit the trails in central Maine.

Thank you, Catherine and Eric, for an amazing dog sledding presentation. The students were so excited and have been chattering about it ever since. We are going to write a letter to the mayor of NY in hopes that we can convince him to erect a better statue and commemoration for Togo. We’ll see if we get a response! Thank you again!!

The experience the girls had was wonderful. The girls could not stop talking about the day with you. I heard from several parents how great it was for their daughters. Thank you,

Hi Catherine and Eric,
Many thanks for coming to school this morning and doing such a wonderful presentation for the kids. Of course they loved it (as did Joan and I!) and spent the rest of the day yelling "hike! hike!" at each other and pretending to be sled dogs. Truly a unique opportunity that I'm sure the class will be talking about for quite a while.

With appreciation,
Joan

It was awesome! The snow and cold were the perfect touch! Thanks for being so accommodating with the delay!
The boys were convinced that the tangle occurred because you told them they go for trails and there is a definite trail where they were heading! They also think the dogs think the run was way too short and they didn't want to come back yet! :)

It was wonderful as always!
Let us know when you start taking bookings for next year! :-)

Thanks!

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience on Saturday.  The girls had an absolute Blast! One of our dad's made a cute little video of the experience that I thought you might like to see.

Thanks again!

Catherine and Eric -
By all the smiles yesterday morning, you certainly could see the children enjoyed your visit.  Allowing the children to try on the harnesses, then dressing the dog with the doggie booties certainly was fun ... but the highlight of the visit was actually being outside with your sweet dogs ... fun for both children and teachers!

Thanks so much for an enjoyable morning.
