In Kiruna, a brief but spirited training run offers an intimate window into the season behind the sled: eager Alaskan dogs, the ritual of harnessing a team, a short run on dirt, and the warmth of a rustic hut where coffee, tea and homemade muffins await before some unstructured puppy time.

Highlights

THE ANIMALS

Hands-on with eager Alaskans

Meet the kennel’s Alaskan dogs, help harness a team and come along on a training run as the dogs prepare for the winter season.

THE RITUAL

Coffee, muffins and a fire at the kennel

After the run the group gathers in a rustic hut by an open fire for coffee or tea and homemade muffins — a simple finish that doubles as kennel hospitality.

THE PUPPIES

Puppy time for socializing

Playful puppy time rounds out the program — an important socializing exercise for the young dogs and a joyful end to the visit.
