Real Reasons to Choose Eden Ethical Dogsledding

1) FUN AND EDUCATIONAL HANDS ON ADVENTURE FOR ALL AGES. 

At Eden, we believe dogsledding should be more than just a ride — it’s a shared adventure
between people, dogs, and the natural world. Here’s what makes our experience truly unique:
A Hands-On Adventure
Our tours are part fun, part education, and always unforgettable. You’ll learn about sled dogs,
pack dynamics, and the sport itself, while helping harness your own team. Children especially
love earning their “junior handler certificate,” and everyone leaves with stories, photos, and a
deeper connection to the dogs.

2) ETHICAL, FREE-RANGE DOGS. 
The Un-Chained Gang live happy, full lives — never tethered, always loved. They swim in our
pond, play ball, nap on couches, and retire into forever homes. Their joy and energy shine
through in every run.

3) YOUR HOST, JIM BLAIR AND THE UN-CHAINED GANG: INTERNATIONAL DOG SLEDDING CHAMPIONS. 

Founder and champion musher Jim Blair has won national and international sprint titles. His
passion for dogs, education, and the environment creates an experience that’s both safe and
inspiring.

4) SPECTACULAR TRAILS AND LOCATION. Our private trail system winds through 3,000 acres of protected Vermont wilderness. Quiet forests, wide meadows, and mountain views set the stage — and thanks to our snowbelt microclimate, we enjoy some of the best conditions in New England.

5) GUEST COMFORT AND CARE. Warm up in our cozy lodge by the woodstove, enjoy local treats, or sip lemonade in summer. Our custom-designed sleds include blankets, goggles, and hand warmers for a safe, comfortable ride.

6) SAFETY FIRST TOURS WITH EXPERIENCED DRIVERS. With decades of racing and touring experience, our team ensures every adventure is as safe as it is thrilling.

7) OPEN YEAR-ROUND FUN WITH DOG-SLEDDING-ON-WHEELS! No snow? No problem! With our German-built training cart, you can experience dogsledding-on-wheels in spring, summer, or fall.

8) FOR INDIVIDUALS TO GROUPS. Whether you’re coming solo or with a large group, we’ll tailor the adventure to fit.

9) CUDDLES GUARANTEED Our dogs are people-raised, playful, and affectionate. After your ride, spend time snuggling and thanking your team.

10) YOUR VISIT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Every tour directly supports the lifelong care of our dogs and our mission to expand educational
programs in the future.
