Carpenter said she didn’t know what to expect, but the dogs were clearly well-trained and visibly excited to pull the sled.“As trite as it might sound, what got me interested in going dog sledding was that it was something very different and unique,” she said.
The trainers explained to them how the team works and left time to pet the dogs after the 30-minute ride. Carpenter said she is interested in going dog sledding again and is looking forward to more Duquesne Club outings.“It was really interesting to learn about and see how these dogs perform as a team,” she said. “It doesn’t feel inhumane because you can see the excitement of the dogs.”
