    Great activity, I loved it! I enjoyed taking care of the dogs with her, preparing them for harnessing and after the ride. She explained to me where the dogs were positioned and why they each had their place, very interesting. Great feeling when starting and throughout the ride. Many thanks. Manon

    Magnificent experience with top dogs, a musher Tiphaine also top notch with all her explanations. Honestly, if you're in the area, save yourself a morning with doggy sport 85, it's totally worth it. So it's your turn. Thanks to Tiphaine and her entire pack.

    We had a great time with my son, sporty, with animals and original The Huskies all had their own character, it was incredible and funny at the same time ☺️. Don't hesitate to discover them, they are adorable. The walk was nice, we did the one near a campsite and there were deer, llamas etc on our way! I wanted to be alone with a dog and ultimately I should perhaps have been with two because it's sporty! But at least I had a good session :). My son was also alone with a huskie, he had already done so, and the huskie adapted to his rhythm :)
