DOGSLEDDING 101

Learn to be a DOG MUSHER!

We are the closest you will get to an amazing Alaskan adventure without leaving Michigan!

Private bookings - one on one attention - one booking per day at our rustic farm setting.

Located BELOW the Mackinac Bridge! (Spend the day getting "doggy", not in your car.)

We are a 16-dog kennel featuring Siberian and Alaskan huskies. We have "SNOW DOGS"!

Step back in time and explore the history of this sport, the dogs, and the true "musher way of life".

Lots of "hands on" experience, if desired, as you harness, hook up, and drive your OWN team of 4-6 dogs.

Once you are on the sled, you will learn to ride the serpentine trails through our 40-acre private property with dips and turns, through the forest and fields.

$250 per person.   All ages welcome. 

We are available six days a week - closed Sunday. 

10:00 a.m. start time daily - plan on a 4 hour stay. Duration may vary depending on snow conditions.

Reservation and Deposit of 50% required to secure booking.  (See below.)

We are in a snow-belt - we have snow from Thanksgiving into April!

Come experience this amazing canine silent sport and prepare to change your life!

Come to Last Chance Kennel at Russ-Stick Acres for an informal, relaxed, fun day of being with dogs and learning about their passion for running.
