During your visit, the huskies will welcome you to their home. You will get to know their individual characters and receive brief instructions on how to handle and interact with the four-legged friends.
This is how you'll be out and about: with a belly belt and shock absorber lead, you'll have your hands free and be directly connected to the husky. The right dog will be selected for you depending on your physical condition and build. For particularly strong four-legged friends, "teams of three" can also be formed - two hikers then share the leadership of one husky.
Feel the strength and energy of your animal partner, find your rhythm together and become a real team. Along the way, you will learn lots of exciting facts about huskies, their closeness to nature and life with them.
The tour takes you along a variety of paths: through forests, across fields and meadows, uphill and downhill - always with wonderful views of the Sauerland mountain ranges. A break along the way gives you the opportunity to look after the dogs and enjoy nature.
Back at the husky home, you look after the four-legged friends together - before rounding off the experience with cuddles and a special feeling of togetherness.
