And if there is no snow?
Usually, to ride a dog sled, you need a good snow cushion. Of course, in some cases the sleigh is replaced with a wheeled cart (sleigh with wheels), but this option is more traumatic. When there is not enough snow, husky parks rarely offer skating services, but you can chat and cuddle with dogs in any weather.

People come to the Husky House not only to ride, but also to learn how to drive a dog sled on their own.

After detailed instructions, you can safely set off along the chosen route.
Our younger brothers are taken care of here and make sure that they don’t overwork themselves, so the number of visitors riding per day is limited.
