Sled Dog Camp by Monika Kross

I was today years old when I learned that Michigan has summer sled dog center where you can hang with huskies!! MI Dog Summer Sled Dog Center is located near Tahquamenon Falls in the eastern UP. They share that while you can’t take sled dog rides (too hot!) it’s a pretty cool & affordable experience:

Start your tour with puppy cuddles and an informational area, complete with hands-on activities like packing a dog sled for a race and dressing up as a musher. After you get your puppy fill, take a short walk down to the kennel and dog play pen where you will meet Laura Neese and her adult sled dog team. Relax in the shade while you watch the dogs during their play time and listen while Laura introduces you to the dogs and tells stories from her time on race trails, including the only two 1,000 mile long dogsled races in the world. Each tour includes a Q&A session with Laura and time to pet and love on some of dogs.

Monika says (in part) I can’t stop raving about not only the snuggling puppies factor but the quality build of the building and fencing system. At only two years old, this local business is still brand new and I’m here to blog about it to get you to go and make them feel welcome … I imagined it would be loud, stinky, and that I’d be jumped on which never happened. The center is pristine and these are well mannered, trained dogs used to being handled – even the puppies were calm!
