PROGRAM

Pick up and transfer in Kiruna or ICEHOTEL. In 40 minutes we drive from Kiruna to our kennel. We drive along the beautiful Kalix river, which is one of the largest river systems in Europe that has not been exploited for hydroelectric purposes. On clear days we can even see the beautiful mountain range hosting Sweden’s tallest mountain, Kebnekaise. The chances to see moose are high as we pass through the moose’s winter grazing land.

The dog sledding tour
We start the day with our unique Husky Dream tour. After a proper driving instruction, in which we also teach you how to best interact with our dogs, we head out over the frozen swamps and river and through mountain forest. Two people in a team take turns in driving and sitting on the sled. We find ourselves in the fantastic environment with Sweden’s tallest mountain - Kebnekaise in the background. The tour is long and every driver gets to drive about 45 minutes each.

Mindfulness and animal welfare
We  gather in our special mindfulness tipi and you will learn about the Trust Technique benefits. How do we use it and why do we use it? How will it be possible for you to use it with your own animals?  In different ways we will show you the changes in a dog. You will learn the basics in how to build a relationship with your dog with the help of your own presence and calmness. If you have problems with dogs at home, we will discuss them and come up with suggestions for solutions.

Lunch
We have a warming soup around our kitchen table  or around the fire in the wooden tipi which invites conversations about life in this Arctic environment.
