Sled Dogs in Sharon - An Educational Event

By Alexis Pencar

SHARON SPRINGS — Run By Dogs Training & Rehabilitation of Sharon Springs will offer free Sled Dog Rides at the Sharon Springs Free Library for children ages 2+ on Saturday, March 1st from 11:00 AM until 12:30 PM! Any and all ages are welcome to come out and meet the sled dogs and enjoy an educational talk by local “Musher”, Dog Trainer, and Author, Kate Walrath, owner of Run By Dogs.

This upcoming free event on Saturday (3/1) is an excellent way for children to learn more about sled dogs, have a hands-on-experience, and even talk to a real Musher! Walrath offered, “It’s a great opportunity to be able to share our sled dogs with the community we live in, it is so special to me! Sunshine, dogs, and a wonderful reason to enjoy winter!”

As an active and integral part of the Sharon Springs Community, Walrath and her family (and sled dogs too) often participate in, and even offer their own, local events! Back in January, Run By Dogs welcomed a large local homeschool group for complimentary sled dog rides for the third year in a row! As an educational field trip, students (and younger siblings) had a ton of fun and learned so much!

In addition to dog sledding, Run By Dogs also offers family dog training, dog sledding excursions, educational programs, boarding, and more.

Mark your calendars for this fun and educational event coming up on Saturday, March 1st from 11:00 AM until 12:30 PM at the Sharon Springs Free Library located at 129 Main Street Sharon Springs, NY 13459. For more information please call the Sharon Springs Free Library at (518) 284-3126.
