What is Canicross
Canicross is the sport of running cross-country with your dog.
It is a fantastic feeling, being in harmony with your dog as you both enjoy a run together in the fresh air and beautiful countryside.
Dogs tend to love canicross in a group as they are all travelling in the same direction which can lessen anxiety and most dogs love to chase!
Your dog should be in good general health, always ask your Vet for advice.
Dogs should be at least 12 to 18 months old depending on the breed.
What do you need ?
You will need
A comfy harness for your dog, one which does not restrict breathing or movement.
A bungee line connects dog and runner to absorb shock and make it feel nice and smooth for you both.
The runner needs a belt which should sit around the hips which is better for your back.
