Catherine, Eric and Furry Kids, Many thanks for the photos! They are great, and Fiona really loved seeing herself with Sobo on your website. It is a good idea to post them like that. Fiona wants me to thank you "very, very, very" much for taking her on the trail and letting her help with the dogs. She had a terrific time and wants to do it again sometime (tomorrow, if she could).
Again, many, many thanks for such an educaitonal, interesting experience. Fiona was in heaven!

Catherine,
Thank you so much for the photos. They are great! I had been meaning to write to you to thank you again for the wonderful outing. You and Eric were terrific, and we really appreciate all the time you spent with Laura. She has made a scrapbook with her photos of the dogs, and has been telling everyone about her day. She has decided that you are her new hero - she wants to be just like you, a musher who likes to cook! She has also said that she thinks this will be the Christmas present she always remembers. Thanks for sharing your dogs and your passion with us.

We just wanted to thank you for a fabulous day (despite the wetness)-all the girls and parents thought it was a wonderful program and the girls had a blast and could not stop talking about the dogs! Thank you and your husband for all your efforts and sharing your knowledge with us. It was a great trip and we will be sure to share with other troops and schools in the area. We all said we loved it so much we may want to do it again next year.
In Appreciation,
Emily Van Horn, Troop 2109

Catherine & Eric,
Just a note to say it was nice meeting you, Eric, Zoe, Sobo, Acadia, and Okemo. Thank you for a great day learning about sled dogs and dryland dog sledding. As I stated earlier today, I could never learn what I learned today in a book or DVD. I had a blast. Have a great winter season and holidays.
Best Wishes,
Mike S.

I just wanted to take the time out to say thank you for a wonderful day of dog sledding. Pack 1657 totally enjoyed dog sledding and the dogs on October 25, 2009. Matter of fact, I found out later that week that one boys was afraid of dogs prior to going on the dog sledding activity. That same little boy was petting all of the dogs during the activity. The Cub Scouts enjoyed this activity so much that one of the Cub Masters informed me that they are going to try and make this a yearly activity for the Pack. Definitely keep us on the waiting list for 2010.
This was an informative activity and it blended well with their academic curriculum as well as Cub Scout activities.
Thanks again we truly appreciate the experience we had. The adults had fun too!
Regards,
Vanessa S, Pack 1657

The girls really learned a lot and enjoyed themselves. And your dogs, of course, were the star of the show.
I'll forward along any pictures of the girls or dogs that are exemplary.
Again, many thanks for your love of the sport.

so much! The pictures are fabulous and the girls really loved the adventure and the dogs.
You run a great program and we are telling all the other troops about you.

Thank you again for a fun, informative, wet, and messy time today. Roan
and I had a blast and he still has energy to spare!

Saturday was very informative and a great deal of fun. You gave us some excellent pointers for starting our training. Though not a "fluffy" and a little confused, Bonnie had lots of fun and slept like a log on the drive back to VA. I hope we will get together again in the not-too-distant future.

Thanks so much for a great experience!
I wanted to send a few fun photos and
tell you how much fun the girls had on
Sunday! It was such a fantastic, hands-on
educational experience as well as plain
old fun! Best wishes to you, Eric and
the dogs!
Thanks again,

Your great website and professional nature
on the telephone, convinced me that this
would be a great adventure for all the
children who attended the party. Leading
up to the party, I looked at your website
numerous times, we read some of the books
you recommended and we waited anxiously
for the party. The parents of the invited
children were equally excited about the
party as the children and all eagerly
attended the party with their children.
We can not thank you enough for making
our son’s party a great learning
experience and tons of fun! All of your
organization and knowledge made it a great
experience for all who attended. Your
dogs are wonderful with the children and
it was amazing to watch them do what they
love to do-pull the sleds!
My children can not decide which dog they
liked best! Thank you again and we will
recommend your program to friends and
family!
Regards,
Bethany and Andrew M.

Catherine-- you and Eric are so nice to
do this for each troop. What a nice surprise
to get the photos today. I forwarded them
on to the Girl Scouts and parents.
Thanks so much for a wonderful day
last Saturday. The girls really enjoyed
it and so did the grown ups. See you next
year!
Joy P., Girl Scout Troop 3072

My father thought you guys were
the greatest things since pants! He just
couldn't stop talking about
Okemo either! Thank you so much for sending
me the link to the pictures!
Thanks again,
Kelly R.
February 11, 2009
Thanks for the pictures! Yes, we
all certainly had a great time. It's going
to be hard to find future Father/Daughter
Outings to top this one. It was well worth
the 18 month wait!
It was very nice meeting you and
Eric, and your dogs. Although I'm looking
forward to spring, I'll keep thinking
"snow" for your sake.
Thanks very much for a wonderful
experience.
Best regards and good mushing,

Hello Catherine and Eric,
Thanks for the pictures! They look great!
We had a LOT of fun that day and the dogs
did too. They slept the entire way home
and the rest of the day too! Thanks again
for the awesome sledding program, we'll
definitely see you guys in the future
I'm sure. Take care and happy holidays!!

Hello Catherine and Eric,
Thank you so much for the “Run What
you Brung” session yesterday. It
was great fun and totally exhausting for
my boys.
I am amazed at how much we learned
in such a short time. I cannot tell you
how grateful I am to you for your patience
and thoroughness in explaining everything
to me.
Your dogs too are absolutely amazing.
They are sweet and loving but totally
focused when it is time to work. They
will be the model for which we will strive.
Thanks Again and I wish all of you a very,
very happy holiday and hope to see you
in the spring.
-Laura
P.S. I cannot wait to see the pictures!
Thanks so much for doing that, I thought
I would take pictures but I was too busy
trying to absorb your teaching ;-)
November 16, 2008
Hi Catherine and Eric,
Thank you both so much for he phenomenal
experience for us and our dogs. Jolasveinn,
the busiest puppy in the word, slept the
whole way home!
Thanks again for sharing your time,
expertise, and your wonderful dogs with
us

Thank you for a great Saturday.
That was a nice area to hold the class.
I think Pearl is understanding the pulling
concept.
Margaret L. and Pearl.
May 31, 2008
Thank you very much for all of this
information and for the clinic. You and
Eric are excellent teachers and your class
was arranged in a way that we could really
follow. I also appreciate that you asked
about dog issues at the beginning so that
Luke could participate.
Lynn and Tom E., Scarlett, and Luke.

Thank you and Eric for such an informative
super clinic on Pull Training this morning.
Everything was so well explained and though
you did impart a lot of information, you
also gave us a lot of guidance as to how
to find out more... I thought Ellie did
very well considering when I adopted she
wouldn't walk on a leash, she was so fearful.
Anyway, again thank you for a superb clinic--you
and Eric are obviously very into the dog
pulling sports and very knowledgeable...
and it shows. But you also have the ability
to instruct those of us "newbies",
explaining everything so well. It's one
thing to have the knowledge but to teach
it to those of us who know nothing is
a real gift (along with hard work!!).
Daphne K. and Ellie.

Dear Catherine, Eric and Canine Friends,
Your
presentation was a well received and engaging
event.
Renee D., Duncan Library
March 26, 2008
I wanted to thank you for the instruction
and all the helpful information. I enjoyed
seeing all your dogs and the beautiful
trail. Pearl seemed to have a positive
experience and will probably enjoy carting/scootering.
Margaret L. and Pearl
March 19, 2008
Wonderful! We all really had a great
time - my kids are so excited to see their
photos. :-)
Thanks again so much for everything -
it was an unforgettable experience. You
guys did a great job!

We do not want to let too much time
go past without sending you a big thanks
for our outing with your dogs. The girls
(and moms) had a great day together, and
the outing was really memorable. Thanks
for the opportunity and for the fun and
education you gave us. Thanks for the
pictures as well.

Hi Catherine,
I just wanted to follow up on
yesterday's Run What You Brung and let
you know how much fun Jason and I (and
of course Gryffin and Phoenix too!) had
yesterday! The boys were pretty pooped
on the ride home (no accidents :) ) and
spent most of last night sleeping!
Jenny, Jason, Gryffin, and Phoenix

I have no doubt that his experience with
your dogs will be one he remembers for
a lifetime. This adventure was made so
special because of the effort of you and
your husband to reach out to the youngest
participants. Without your caring, the
trip would not have been such an important
time for all of us. All of us glowed with
excitement all day long.
Sometimes I try to plan something special
and am greatly disappointed but that was
certainly not true of our dog sledding
adventure. You met and exceeded our expectations.
I hope you know how important your mission
in helping others through animal adventures
is. Keep on mushing!!
Sincere thanks,
Carole

Catherine-
I just wanted to send a note of thanks
to you for making a little boys dreams
come true today. Payton was still beaming
from his adventure with you guys and your
beautiful dogs - when he got home from
school today.
Both of you and the dogs were so impressive
and wonderful with Payton. I am sure he
will remember his time with you - forever.
The whole experience was truly special!
Thank you again for a wonderful experience!
Sincerely,
Lauren H.

We have done lots of activities and
have not met any presenter more energetic
or more organized. You were wonderful
with the girls and gave a very very good
program.
Thanks!!

Thank you Catherine. We all had
a great time and thought you did a wonderful
job introducing everyone to dogsledding!

Catherine,
I just wanted to thank you and
Eric for putting together a wonderful
program for our group. The kids really
enjoyed it--and believe it or not, one
of them even wants to move to Alaska!
The only thing that would have made it
better was if it was 15 degrees warmer
(I think we ALL froze our butts off that
day). Nonetheless, we had a great time
and would highly recommend Maryland Sled
Dogs to any potential clients you may
have.
All my best,
Maureen M-B.

about it.

Thank you for the adventure of a
lifetime for most these girls. How cool
is it for these girls to be asked "What
you do this weekend?" and them able
to say "I learned about dog sledding
and got to ride in one." It is a
very nice thing you are doing sharing
your skills and your talented and very
well behaved dogs with us. My daughter
says to give Zoë and the others a
big hug for her (Zoë was her favorite).

The girls had a wonderful time and
the parents were equally impressed! It
was a great day!! You guys were so wonderful
and did such a great job working with
kids.
Lisa B., Troop 840, Essex, MD
January 5, 2008
Thank you for a wonderful time on
Saturday. You have a first class operation;
we were really impressed by everything,
the organization, attention to detail,
the photos, the timeliness, etc. The girls
couldn't stop
thinking and talking about the dogs on
the way home. In fact, my daughter and
her friend said that was the best thing
they have ever done in their five plus
years of girl scouting (even winning out
over camping)! Now that's making a statement.
We are grateful that you have introduced
such a unique activity to our group of
diverse girls. Some of our girls are not
so much "outdoorsy-type" of
people, and a few others don't even care
for dogs; one of which had a slight fear
of dogs. However, the manner of which
you presented the program in conjunction
with the great temperament of the dogs
themselves, proved to be a success for
everyone. When I saw all of the girls
(reluctantly) leave Monkton station on
Saturday with smiles on all of their faces,
I knew it was a job well done. Kudos to
you, Eric, Zoe, Sobo, T-Bone, and Okemo.
Lori B., Troop 1416, Laurel, MD

Catherine and Eric,
Thank you both so much for spending so
much time with us and the pups. We all
had a great time and learned a lot. We
really appreciated all the knowledge and
training. We had a few errands to run
and got home around 3:00ish. We gave the
pups a late lunch, then they passed out,
and slept until 5:00 am!
Thanks again,
Elyse, Tom, Zack, and Sasha

Hey Catherine! I just wanted to say

We'll definitely be back again- have a
great week!
