About Howling Dog Tours
Howling Dog Tours has been running guided dog sled adventures in the Canadian Rockies since 1995. Based on Bow Valley Trail in Canmore, the company operates in the Spray Lakes area of Kananaskis Country, offering guests a genuine mushing experience through some of Alberta's most spectacular winter wilderness. Their team of Alaskan and Siberian Huskies is raised and trained on-site with a focus on ethical animal care and athletic conditioning.
The flagship two-hour tour includes hands-on participation — guests help harness the dogs before the run and reward them with biscuits and water at the finish. The trail winds through snow-covered boreal forest with views of the Canadian Rockies that are difficult to access by any other means in winter. Tours depart up to four times daily between December and April, with small group sizes that keep the experience personal and unhurried.
Howling Dog Tours stands out for its commitment to the wellbeing of its dogs and the authenticity of its operation. The company has been featured in national travel publications and maintains strong ratings from decades of consistent service. For visitors looking for a quintessential Canadian winter adventure without the crowds of Banff, Howling Dog offers an intimate and memorable alternative right from Canmore's doorstep.
