Why book a kennel visit?
A visit to our husky kennel on Kvaløya near Tromsø is an unforgettable experience that brings you face-to-face with one of the most iconic animals of the Arctic. These huskies are not just any dogs; they are skilled sled dogs trained for the harsh conditions of the north.
At our husky kennel, you get the chance to interact with these incredible animals, learn about their training, and understand the special bond we have with them.
Whether you’re a dog lover, an adventurer, or simply curious, a visit in our kennel is a must-do activity that offers insight into the culture and lifestyle of the region.
Can I cuddle as much as I want with the dogs?
One of the highlights of visiting our husky kennel is, undoubtedly, the opportunity to cuddle with the dogs. Our dogs are friendly, social and affectionate by nature, so please feel free to give them lots of cuddles! We would actually love you to do so, as it makes it easier for us giving them all the love they deserve. The more cuddling hands the better.
However, it’s important to remember that these dogs are also athletes, trained for endurance and strength. Our staff will guide you on how to approach the dogs, ensuring that both you and the huskies have a safe and enjoyable experience. So, while you can cuddle to your heart’s content, always respect the dogs’ space and the instructions provided by our staff.
Is 1.5 hours enough for a kennel visit?
We know it might seem short with a visit that lasts only 1.5 hours. But in reality, it actually is the perfect amount of time to fully enjoy the experience and our husky kennel. During this time, you will be introduced to the huskies, learn about their lives, and spend time interacting with them.
The visit usually starts with a tour of the kennel, where you can see the different areas where the dogs live and train. This is followed by a chance to meet and play with the huskies, which is often the highlight of the visit.
The time spent at the husky kennel is well-structured, ensuring that you get a comprehensive experience without feeling rushed. For many, 1.5 hours is more than enough to appreciate the beauty and spirit of the huskies. If you’re eager for more you are more than welcome back in winter for our dog sledding tours!
