Elevation Sled Dogs Yukon - Whitehorse, YT

Michel M.

The dog sled tour was fantastic. I was picked up by an incredibly nice shuttledriver. After a leisurely ride through beautiful countryside, we got warm clothes and a little intro and went to meet the dogs. While the guides put the dogs on a lead, we were allowed to pet them. During the ride, one guide stood at the end of the sled, one guest stood in the middle and the other sat snuggled up in the front of the sled. The ride was really fun and you had to lean into the bends a bit like when skiing. Halfway through, we swapped places and I was allowed to sit at the front of the sled, which gave me the opportunity to enjoy the scenery and take some great photos. At the end we had a hot chocolate and were allowed to cuddle one of the puppies and the old dogs on the couch in the warm cabin.

All in all, the tour was really great and the guides took extremely good care of their dogs, who each had their own beautiful little wood cabin with a straw bed and some even had a balcony. Also during the tour we paused when the dogs needed it! So they really take good care of them

I can recommend this tour to anyone who loves dogs and wants to experience a little Yukon adventure! It was really fantastic

Thanks a lot to the whole Elevation team! 🤗

Fantastic experience. Wonderful history and guides. The dogs were so well behaved and energetic. We were welcomed to play with their baby puppies when we were done.
The owner was very flexible with rescheduling our adventure due to poor weather (-40 degrees Celsius) and found a perfect replacement the day after.
So many great pictures. Our teenaged kids and grandparents all had a great time.

This was the daytime highlight of our one-week trip to see the Northern Lights in February 2025. My wife and I absolutely loved it. Nienke, our musher, was wonderful and a gifted “dog whisperer.” Coming from Florida, his was a new experience for my wife and I. What I liked about Elevation was that they allow you to interact with any dog on the premises. They were very “people friendly,” which as I understand is not always the case. After our nice long run on the trails, we got to hang out with the puppies!

体験する前は少し高いかなと思いましたが、コース内容がとても長く、娘と半分ずつ操縦しましたが、体感では15分ずつくらい走っていたと思います。休み休み、わんこ達が頑張ってくれました！坂道もあったのに、大人3人を引っ張ってくれて…Ready！掛け声も聞き分けて進み出し、本当に賢い犬達でした。なかなか出来ない体験、やって良かったと思います。

This company is customer centric and makes sure their customers walk away with a great memorable experience.
We were in Whitehorse for a short trip but unfortunately ran into a cold front snap while we were there. We had pre-booked our dog sledding trip for group of 6 people family (3 generations). Due to extreme cold weather, Aaron, the owner accommodated us on the following day towards the evening so we can experience dog sledding safely. It was the highlight of the family trip for each of the family members. The sunset was amazing. They provided warm gear (jackets, boots and gloves) to make sure we were warm (which were had been worrying about since we hadn’t planned for the Artic cold snap outfits). The staff are dog lovers and take care of all the dogs well, like their own. The dogs are all very well trained and socialized. We got to pet all of them freely including a few puppies. It was a memorable experience!

What an incredible experience! Do not miss this. The friendly Alaskan huskies are very well taken care of and you get to meet the working, retired and puppy crew (which are bred in house)! You have the option of standing (better view) or sitting in the sled. 10/10!!

Absolutely loved our experience of dog sledding! Liam was a great guide, who was friendly and helpful and had a lot to share about the dogs, the area and the sport. It is a beautiful location and exhilarating experience! And spending the half day with 80+ dogs, who are all soooo lovely was probably my favourite bit!! Would recommend this 100%!!

Fantastic experience. Wonderful guides. The views were beautiful and the dogs were so energetic and obedient. We were welcome to play with the retired dogs and the puppies as well with the ones who took us.
