Canicross: The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Cross country running with dogs

Canicross is a sport in which you and your dog run together, connected by an elastic line which attaches to your dog’s special pulling harness, and to a belt for you which is designed to distribute your dog’s pulling force evenly across your body.

Training at the Gym for Canicross, Bikejoring and Scootering: A Guide for the Handler

In canicross, bikejoring and scootering, people tend to think of the dog as the engine that drives everything. In reality, the handler is the second motor: which means that if the ‘human motor’ stalls or breaks down, everything comes to a halt and the risk of injury increases. In dog pulling sports the weakest link is almost always the human and that’s why it’s essential that you work on your own physical fitness in the gym to prevent injuries which can be caused by being towed by your dog and to improve your team’s performance. In this guide we’ll look at some of the exercises you should be doing and why. The human athlete is the team’s second engine In

We have recently launched a portable poop waste bin: Poop Of. While it’s designed to make life easier and more comfortable for people who already pick up after their dogs, we also hope to inspire every dog owner to do the same, even on trails and out in nature.

Hot-Weather Pulling Sports with your Dog: Safety, Useful Strategies and Things to Avoid

This article is not meant to encourage running in hot weather. Just the opposite! We want to explain why training in the heat can be unsafe for dogs.
