Twenty top reasons that Eden Dog Sled Adventures should be your choice!
 1) FRIENDLY, HOME RAISED DOGS are loving, friendly, huggable – kept Free range – we do not chain our dogs. They are happy and FREE! They love people and can’t wait to help teach you about the sport, have you learn to harness and hitch them and then take you for a grand ride! You even get to reward them with treats at the end of your adventure!
2) WARM WELCOME & EDUCATIONAL CENTER We have a huge, warm barn with a woodstove, couches and chairs where our guests learn and get ready for their sled tour and then laugh, share stories and drink warm beverages and munch on snacks afterward. Guests with family and friends who do not choose to go on the tour are welcome to sit by the fire. In the spring, summer and fall you can rest outside, enjoying the magnificent views of nature and the Lowell Mountain chain while sipping lemonade and sampling cookies.
 3) TOURS AVAILABLE 7 DAYS A WEEK at several convenient times throughout the day. Our kennel of great dogs is located right here at our touring center. We can accommodate you with several convenient times in the winter. If you have a larger group, and call ahead for special reservations, we can work with you to provide a fun experience-for-all, with multiple sleds for all of the members of your group.

 4) FREE-RANGE, HAPPY, LOVING, PLAYFUL DOGGIES! We have one of the only free-range dog kennels in North America. Our dogs swim in our pond in the warm months, play ball and tug, take road trips to the store, sleep in bed and have a quality of life that most dogs would envy!
5) RESPECT - NOT NEGLECT! When considering a tour operator ask them what is the quality of life of the dogs year round and during the hours they are not pulling sleds? Our dogs sleep in bed, go swimming in the spring, summer and fall, ride into town and all around, go for hikes and runs and have quality life enrichment all year long. They know their names and love to cuddle with people as well as take them for joy rides!
6) OUR DOGS ARE LOVED FROM THE CRADLE TO RETIREMENT! We plan for our dogs from inception until retirement, our dogs have a quality life. Sled dogs from large kennels that have not been chained can convert to family pets.
