Short sleddog ride and campfire with Estonian’s first long-distance musher
Come and discover Estonian countryside and untouched nature in a primal way — by dogsledding in Sleddog Training Center. Meet Estonian’s first long-distance musher Heinrich Lukk and his super friendly sleddogs!
Our sleddogs are long distance athletes, who have a lot of racing experiences from north Norway, Sweden and Finland. During the kennel visit the owner of Sleddog Training Center and Estonias first and most experienced long distance musher Heinrich Lukk introduces the life and work of racing sled dogs.
All our sleddogs are our family members and centerpiece of our life. They are super friendly and love to spend time with our guests. You have the possibility to cuddle them and take pictures with them.
The highlight of kennel visit is dogsledding in the beautiful forest landscapes around our kennel. The dogs demonstrate their high work motivation and also speed – they are always so happy and eager to work.
During the kennel visit we also light the bonfire, so you can enjoy the fire heat. By the fire we serve a little meal – cinnamon bun and hot wild raspberry tea, which is true Estonian winter classic taste.
About the guide: The tour is led by Heinrich Lukk, who has dedicated his life to sleddogs. Heinrich is the owner of Sleddog Training Center, breeder of most of our dogs. He is the first and most experienced (more than 10 years long distance races) long distance musher in Estonia who finished with his team 2 longest races in winter 2026 – Gold Rush Run 450 km and Finnmarkslopet 600 km.
Highlights of dogsledding and kennel visit tour:
- Meet with super friendly sleddogs
- Get to know about their everyday life which is very different from pet dog life
