 | NEW Stud Dogs added |
|
Now Available: Booties!!! |
| Background & Experience:
 | My dog sledding background encompasses over 15 years
of experience; from being self-taught-to being taught by
the "pros". I have raced everything from 4-dog
recreational class races to a 500 + mile trip with my
team. I have experience purchasing the perfect dog to
fit my team, ranging from buying a dog from a
recreational musher to buying multiple dogs from a
champion Iditarod kennel. I also have training as a Vet
Technician, which gives me a unique understanding of a
racing dog's metabolism, physical health, and
physiological well-being. |

| Mentoring:
| If dog mushing intrigues you
and you would like to learn the "ins" and "outs" without
all the headaches, I am available to help you get
started in the right direction. Mentoring starts with
the basics.
My Basic Instruction includes: what equipment is
needed for you to get started and how to use it
properly; how to set up a proper kennel with housing for
your team; how to train your dogs; what diet to feed
your dogs; and how to properly raise and care for your
team.
Basic Instruction price per hour: $25.00
I also give Advanced Instruction on: the best
ways to train a lead dog; the best training schedule;
how to get the most out of your training; and how to buy
a good sled dog from a $5,000 leader down to a new pup.
I will also cover any other specific needs you have and
goals you want to accomplish.
Advanced Instruction price per hour: $45.00 |

| School Demonstrations:
| I am available for school
demonstrations from a single class size to the entire
school. A demo consists of: a lecture of how the dogs
are raised and taken care of; racing and training;
personal experiences with my dogs; hands on display of
equipment; and how each item works; as well as a
question and answer period.
Demo months are from October through the first week in
April. Demographic areas covered: Albany, Rensselaer,
Warren and Washington Counties, and the Rutland area of
Vermont.
The price will vary depending on the length of the demo,
the number of people, and location of your school.
