No experience necessary, drama free, a strong mind and healthy body a necessity.
Must be responsible, eager to work and have the mental capacity to learn and retain minutia.

Two distinct time periods, that break up the yearly activities. May 1 thru September 30, summer.

Responsibilities are to assist in care and summer training of animals, pup exercise, assist in fishing chores (nets and fish wheels) and smoke house. Live at the fish camp with the dogs.

The good part is I will not charge a cent for this awesome experience! October 1 thru May 1, winter. Responsibilities are to assist in training and care for all aspects of fielding an open class team, to include but not limited to, maintenance and manufacture of all equipment, trail work or grooming, assist driver in training and care of animals. Handler would have their own wood heated cabin and be responsible for same. Meals would be taken with the owner and manners would be appreciated. Some limited racing may be possible for the right individual. The good part is I will not charge a cent for this awesome experience! All the good guys have left with a tear in their eye, a once in a lifetime experience, and some new found knowledge. The knowledge part is up to the individual.

A background in dog obedience training and/or animal behavior will take favor over prior dog mushing experience, however, the applicant's love and respect for dogs, a desire for adventure and a thirst for knowledge are the most important qualifications. We'll teach you the rest. This internship offers room and board and all of the experience and knowledge you can absorb.

Most days, you'll work longer and harder than you likely ever have before. You'll get tired, sore, sometimes wet, cold, and really dirty. You'll likely learn more about yourself and canine working companions than you ever thought imaginable and you'll have the time of your life, immersed in our lifestyle with our furry sled pets .

There is potential to guide tours in the winter for a little extra pocket money once the skills are learned.

We live entirely off grid, using solar energy, in the remote wilderness of Minnesota's Arrowhead Region but have all of the modern conveniences like indoor plumbing and wifi.

This internship runs into April of next year. Please send inquiries and resumes to linda@points-unknown.com
