Gentle, Fun-lovng Dogs - NO CHAINS - They have a Great Life Year Round! In Spring, Summer, fall and Winter where they can run and play freely.

This is the REAL Dog Sledding Sanctuary for people who love dogs, love nature, and want to have a tue Call of the Wild Experience.

Musher and Visionary Jim Blair is an International race Champion who has dedicated his life to providing the public with an opportunity to experience real dog sledding, with loving dogs, on trails where the dog teams REALLY perform and show YOU how intelligent and capable they are - Other "Doggie ride" companies chain or cage their dogs and take you on snow mobile trails or in circles.

Our bottom line is quality of life for sled dogs - their bottom line is PROFIT - Google the "Horrors of Dog Sledding"

For over 20 years we are the Gold Standard of Ethical Dogsledding in North America. THANK YOU for ALL the patrons who make this possible! Your support helps makes this sustainable as the cost for tours does not cover the yearly expenses for providing, well trained kennel staff, vet care, proper nutrition, elder dog care, the infrastructure, trail maintenance, mortgage for the kennel, and more.

Thank you for joining the VISION that all working dogs deserve LIVES that are CHAIN-FREE and Beloved !!!

Thank you for visiting Our Website - We hope after viewing the rate page you will make a reservation and come for the Experience of a Lifetime!

Step into the world of the UN-Chained Gang and discover true Canine Consciousness and dog pack dynamics!

Welcome! We invite you to learn about the International Sprint Race Champions, TheUN-Chained Gang and Champion race musher, Jim Blair’s revolutionary vision of ethical dog sledding. For twenty years we have stood for love, quality care – no lives on chains! – and sharing the joy that well kept, Alaskan Huskies bring to children and adults - humanity!

The vision of Eden Ethical Dog Sledding is to share the true joy of living with sled dogs and the wilderness journey that they have made possible for humans for thousands of years. We have developed an OASIS for the UN-Chained Gang and the guests of all ages that come for our educational, fun, all season adventure tours. Over the last 18 years we have developed miles of real trail system that is JUST for dogsledding, a real journey back into the magical time when dogs and humans worked and lived together. In the midst of thousands of acres of Northern Vermont mountain beauty, we offer a million dollar trail system for dogsledding with the top sled dog racers – The UN-Chained Gang – who stand for proving that dogs can go fast, be our best friends, win internationally and provide friendship to the many guests they have visited each year from all over the world. International Sprint Sled Dog Champion, Jim Blair, invites you to come to participate in this real canine, interactive experience.

Our tours are hands-on, where you experience the love and joy that these special dogs of the UN-Chained Gang bring to everyone a Discovery Channel experience where you learn to make up a team, harness each dog, hitch up the team, then go for a tour over our amazing trail system - - THE ONLY BUILT AND MAINTAINED DAILY TRAIL SYSTEM FOR DOG SLEDDING IN THE LOWER 48 STATES!!!!!

We have a comfortable learning center where you meet and can cuddle with our gentile, for children and adults, champion race dogs, who are often lounging on couches and enjoying the wood stove in winter. In spring, summer and fall we have imported, high performance, wheeled, European sled/carts that take you on a great tour that includes stops for a pond swim for the dogs and lots of playful interaction with these amazing, charming characters.

This is the real deal, wilderness experience. People come back often, hooked on this unique experience. This is not a “cheap, doggie ride” – your tour dollars go to support the vision of Ethical Dog Sledding for all sled dogs that we have stood for in racing and touring for the last 20 years. WE ARE NOT like any other race or tour kennel in Canada or the USA. Our award winning dogs are known world-wide for their individual personalities and love of humans.
