Canicross: Keep Fit and Have Fun with Your Dog
Are you struggling to find the time for your own exercise and your dog walk? Do you crave time for yourself and your dog? Would you like an activity that exercises your dog mentally as well as physically?
If you answered yes to any of the above, it sounds like running with your dog could be for you. Running with our dogs is a fantastic way to spend some quality time together, combine our own exercise and the dog walk, and increasing the bond with our special K9. Some of my most joyful and present moments have been watching the sheer happiness emanating from my dogs, as they glide over the trail with me.
I have previously co-founded and chaired a very successful canicross club in Scotland. My enthusiasm and passion for running with dogs are infinite, after all, it combines three of my main loves; running, dogs, and the great outdoors. Whilst I would encourage everyone to give it a go. I would love to provide a bit of guidance, for the benefit of your dog’s health and wellbeing.
So, let’s have a look at some of the most frequently asked questions, consider if canicross is for you and your dog, and if so, discuss how you can get started.
