First Dog Sledding Programs of the 2009-2010 Season

Harnessed in the team position, Wolfie tries dryland dog sledding during his Run What You Brung program

Fall has arrived and with the cooling temperatures and changing of the leaves comes....dryland dog sledding. Here at Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC, we've officially begun our 2009-2010 dog sledding season! This weekend kicked off with one of our children's birthday parties and a Run What You Brung training program for a Siberian Husky named, Wolfie or the "W." (Wolfie would like me to explicitly state that he is absolutely no relation to the former president). If you are interested in booking your very own dog sledding program, visit the Tours page of our website to learn more the types of dog sledding programs we offer, and then email catherine@marylanddogsledding.com to reserve your date.
