Fabulous experience - Our visit to Trail Breaker Kennel was clearly a highlight of our tour in Alaska. Learning about the training and care of these beautiful Alaska huskies was so interesting and I was in awe of Katrina Handler when she told us all about racing in the Iditarod. She is truly an inspiration. Of course, being able to hold and cuddle the puppies was awesome.

Puppy love - Guide was very informative and knowledgeable. We were able to cuddle with 4 and 9 week old puppies. Super fun!

Visit with the huskies and their trainers - Was interesting and knowledgeable experience of the life a musher and the training of the Alaskan Husky and their training. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You have a chance to meet the dogs and of course they bring out puppies for everyone to hold and cuddle

Great oxytocin and serotonin boost - The dogs were soooo adorable and lovely, it was a superb experience. Highlight of our Alaska trip. Big big thanks to David for your hospitality 🥰

MUST DO IN FAIRBANKS - This was an absolute dream of a day! Even though it was summer, there were dog tours and a show! We got to see all the puppies and dogs, it was the cutest time. Highly recommend!

THIS TRIP ADDED VALUE TO OUR TRIP IN ALASKA - The one thing we make an effort on when we vacation is never join a group tour. If we can avoid it. We prefer doing it on our own. Building our own itinerary. Managing our own time. Customizing our experience. Making vacation activities our own. without being under the mercy of cookie-cutter tours. It also allows us more fully informed and educated about the people, places, and events we visit. This past trip proved , spending our vacation time our way reaps many benefits. Prior to getting on this trip, my wife suggested we do dog sledding. I was having second thoughts (very rare for me, especially for activities we haven't done before), what with her back surgery, etc. But she was persuasive, and before I knew it, we were booked for a dog sledding tour to be done by Trail Breaker Kennel Sled Dog Tours. A local mushing outfit in Fairbanks. We arrived at the site located less than 10 minutes from our vacation lodge. We were scheduled last to go on this adventure so the parking lot was empty. We liked this for good reasons, we got the chance to soak in all the natural winter wonderland landscape. The quiet and serene environment that's been transformed by the natural fallen snow. We were met by an energetic and pleasant Anna. Originally from Maryland, she's been traveling all over the country and has been with Trail Breaker fairly recently. Then came in Tekla. A wide smiled, also equally energetic young woman who has been "dog mushing" (sport or transport method powered by dogs) since she was 5 years old. Tekla made our first time adventure relatable, approachable and interactive. She's hospitable in so many ways, making us feel more than welcomed. With her willingness to take our pictures, videos, boomerangs and other shenanigans. They even baked cookies and offered proper coffee for all of us. Now remember, we were the last ones scheduled to dog sled. Needless to say, the whole place was noisy fun with all our laughs and ruckus. Tekla educated us about their trail, their outfit, the basics about the Iditarod, her mother, the love, care and maintenance they do for their most valuable members - their alaskan huskies. This was - from start to finish - an EXCELLENT WAY to do an adventure within a planned trip. Meeting the locals, immersing in nature, being proper thankful for time. A commodity in life, we all tend to neglect. There were four of us in this trip and give this adventure an enthusiastic and ruckusful TWO THUMBS UP ! Many thanks Tekla and Anna for taking care of us. This adventure added value to our planned Alaska trip!

An Epic Experience! - I had an amazing experience at Trail Breaker Kennel. We went on a dog mushing tour where we went around the lake and trails. The mountains were visible which was a big plus. Our guide Katrina was super knowledgeable, she answered all my questions about the dogs and racing. The dogs themselves were super happy and friendly. 5/5 stars! Thank you Trail Breaker Kennel!

Friendly, beautiful, great experience - Trail Breaker Kennel provides an amazing experience which includes meeting the dogs, learning about mushing and dog care, and learning first-hand from the hard working TBK mushers! Super friendly and VERY knowledgeable staff, healthy and happy dogs, and beautiful scenery. Do not miss!!

Dogsled experience. - Yesterday I took a half-hour dogsled ride at Trail Breaker Kennel. I had visited the kennel 14 years ago as part of the paddlewheeler tour, which was nice, but this ride was the experience of a lifetime. Although it was 20-some degrees below zero, I was toasty warm wrapped in my blanket on the dogsled. My musher was wonderful and had a great relationship with her team (I think her name was Katrina, but I'm not sure. I also met David and his daughter.) At the time I was the only guest there, so the experience was much different than seeing the dogs with a group of hundreds of people. I had plenty of time to meet and interact with the girls and their pet dog as well, while I waited for my driver. The dogs on the team were so enthusiastic about running, and were very friendly - had the opportunity to pet and thank them afterwards. I only wish I could have taken a longer ride.

Caring and personal experience - The girl was amazing even before us getting to the Kennel. We got dropped off about 2 miles away and called Trail Breaker Kennel to let them know it will be a while to get there. The girl was sooo nice, she came to pick us up. The experience was amazing, beautiful views and most importantly I loved how well cared the dogs are in that place. You could sense the passion and love for the dogs at the Kennel. At the end of our tour we couldn’t get a ride back and this very nice girl gave us a ride back to our hotel. She went out of her way for us and really made of our experience something we will always remember. Can’t recommend this place enough. Thank youuuu!!!
