Friendly dogs and knowledgeable guides. It was very easy to learn to drive the sled. The landscape is beautiful and the trail makes for an exciting ride but is very safe and easy to follow. Instructions in French and English.

I never expected to have so much fun dog sledding. I thought that it would be just handling the dogs in a small, very controlled area, but you actually get to drive a dog sled in the woods for hours. Going into it, I was also intimidated by what I expected the skills needed to handle a dog sled, but Antoine's instructions were so thorough that I was confident to take control when it was time to hit the trails. Instructions are given in both English and French. It went by too fast, and I am so happy that we did it. The most surprising element was how much interaction you have with the pooches. I though that they may be like service dogs, and human interaction would be limited. But the dogs are all really loving, and if you love dogs, it was so much fun hanging out with them and getting to see their personalities.

Une rencontre en premier lieu avec les chiens que l'on découvre câlins et plein de vie, confiants en l'homme ( ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas...). Puis avec Antoine et Roxanne, deux adorables québécois qui sont dans le partage, la transmission et l'amour de ce qu'ils ont, à savoir les chiens.

Geniale. 2 amoureux des chiens extraordinaires. Les chiens viennent chercher les calins et sont lâchés dans un parc après la balade. Pas de bagarre, aucun ne cherche à s échapper. Le soucis du bien être animal se retrouve même dans l'origine de leur nourriture. Des chiens et des clients heureux.
