  Description

  We are an adult couple with adult children and grandchildren. Anne works in a hospital Trust and Trond is partially retired. We do competitive dog sledding sports and winter tours with our Alaska huskies. In the summer we train the dogs when it is cold enough. We wish to host workawayers who are interested in outdoors activities with sled dogs. In the summer season we do maintenance in the dog yards / kennels and around the houses. We do fun trips and dog sledding competitions during the winter. Our workawayers will only help with competition dogs, puppies and young ones, not with tasks relating to guided tours with paying customers.
  Our dogs are social, and in the summer they need and love to do things that are fun together with us. In winter time it is hard training for them and us. We live with the dogs close by, and have all gear needed - like sleds, skis, carts,, ATV, vehicles etc. We have access to cabins where it is possible to have hikes. We prefer people who can stay for at least a month, since it takes a little while to get to know the dogs and the routines we must have.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  There are relatively short distances to the three cities around Norway's largest lake, with many cultural attractions and events. In addition, there are many opportunities for nature experiences such as mountain trips with tents or accommodation in cabins, activities in rivers etc. There is often stable summer weather in May, June and August with 15-25 degrees Celsius

  Aide

  For all seasons:
  You will help us take care of dogs, feed and train them, and work in the dog areas. Some easy maintenance tasks as painting and repair, and help with things around the house and in the kennel when needed.
  Summer: it is possible for us to have two workaway . The work is basicly to care for dogs, keep routines and take responsibilities for the kennel. Kind of dogsitting- but with 21 dogs!
  Winterseason: we can have one workaway. You will during autumn and winter learn dogmushing, train the long distance racing dogs, using first wagons and then on snow- sleds! Cope with snow and weather conditions and experience the lovely world of dogsledding!
