Descrição
Join a Small Dog-Sledding Operation in the Heart of the Yukon Wilderness
October 2026 to April 2027
Hello adventurers, travellers and dog lovers!
I operate a small dog-sledding business with 35 dogs in a beautiful wilderness setting approximately 45 minutes from Whitehorse, Yukon. We specialize in multi-day expeditions ranging from 3 to 15 days.
I am looking for a reliable, mature and committed person to join us for the 2026–2027 winter season. This opportunity is for someone who genuinely wants to become part of the operation—not simply spend a winter in the Yukon or enjoy an extended vacation.
This is a unique hands-on learning opportunity that includes:
Living off-grid in the Yukon wilderness
Getting to know and care for all 35 dogs
Helping with training, feeding and monitoring the dogs
Cleaning and maintaining the dog yard
Learning to work safely and efficiently in cold conditions
Assisting with clients, tours and multi-day expeditions
Developing the skills required to co-guide dog-sledding trips
Participating in the daily activities of a small dog-sledding operation
Living and working with sled dogs is a way of life. Caring for them and spending time with them offers a genuine connection with nature every day.
If you are looking for an authentic Yukon experience and are ready to make a serious commitment to the dogs and the operation, please contact me for more information.
Best regards,
Pierre

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Dog sledding is a way of life. Developing complicity with dogs on the trail and sharing their enthusiasm is a life changing experience. Dog sledding has deep roots in the Yukon history. Travelling with dog teams in the wilderness is also travelling back in time and experiencing a simple way of life.
