Doggone Crazy Fun

Racing sled dogs isn't just painful on your body; it can also make quite a dent on your pocketbook. In recent years, winter-sports enthusiasts bored of skiing at St-Moritz or snowboarding at Vail are infiltrating the insular world of competitive dogsledding, albeit with wads of cash in hand. Once dominated by gnarly professional mushers from Alaska, Canada, and Scandinavia, the notoriously expensive sport is opening up to recreational daredevils with leased teams, racing schools, and long-distance expeditions in places as far-flung as Japan, New Zealand, and Argentina.

Welcome to the K9 Freedom Center—Unleash the Fun!

Please join us– become a member of the K9 Freedom Center. As a member, you'll enjoy year-round off-leash fun and exercise for you and your dog. Bring your dogs for some serious agility training, to meet other dogs (and people), or just to exercise. The exercise area is divided into two segments: a warm-up area of approximately one acre, and a second area of approximately one-half acre. Dogs can run freely, socialize with other dogs, or cool off in the shade.

The center is located at the American Academy of Equestrian Sciences, between historic Leesburg and Middleburg, Virginia. Known to many as the horse capital, the area is also well known for its inns, shops, and restaurants. An easy commute from Washington, DC, the K9 Freedom Center is situated among 116 acres of lush grassy knolls providing a welcome sanctuary for both dog and master. This location is also home to the awesome summer camp facility, Camp Koda
