Perfect video for me. Have the equipment but haven't tried it yet...too hot for running. We do faster hikes, but with a leash. Do you think it worthwhile to use the harness when hiking? Plus I need shoes that match the harness:)
Oh my! How could I forget our tip of matching team kit!!!! Glad you enjoyed the video, yes hiking (or Canitrecking) in the kit could be a great way to get started with directions and commands. It could also be useful for checking it fits well and is comfy. Sounds like a great idea.
How can I get the right tempo? We can jogg side by side for about 2k, but once we put the harness it all or nothing, he goes than hit the harness and lose confidence, than he stops to smell, I try to encourage him and so I forget to breath... I wanted to get into our first 2k race in late october but I can't bridge the jog to the actual canicross. Does that's make sens? Please help.
@@danielleemond9209 I think I get what you mean. There are a number of ways you can get the dog to run with more focus and drive. Some simply get someone on a bike to ride out front so they have something to chase. Running with other dogs is also great as they really get the pack mentality and don’t want to stop and sniff. With Dizzy, I did interval training to train this. We started with really short intervals, 200-400m with loads of praise and fun. Then we gradually lengthened them out, he didn’t know we were going further, it just seemed like the same fun thing as always. Also, most dogs generally LOVE to race! Dizzy works a lot harder when we are racing compared to when we are training. So they might surprise you!!! Good luck - let us know how you get on 🖤🤍
Haha 😂 I think we are all a bit like that - humans are definitely the weak links!! BUT - don’t write yourself off, there is a level for everyone, there are even some Canicross couch to 5k programs out there to follow!
🐝thanks for the great video🌻

Hot out there at the moment. Best wishes.
Very! Sadly too hot for Dizzy so I’ve been reduced to sneaking out without him… he’s not happy about it 😆
Woof! Thanks for the video. Woof! Showed it to my human! Woof! Made some canicross videos. Let me know your thoughts. Woof!
Fitness- the dog would be..but the person- no way.. lol

You can buy a pointer and go run 10k year one 😂 my boy drags me every day and has since 8 months. Hence his name is Chief.
