Congrats on 1k subscribers! I am always so impressed on how Dizzy remains focused on passes. I always have to shorten the leash when passing or being passed. Do you get upset when there is "interaction" of the dogs when on the course?
@@jimmcbride6297 thanks 🤍🖤 We’ve never had any interactions that have been properly negative. As you say Dizzy’s focus and temperament are excellent. So I never mind. Dizzy is actually quicker on a busy racecourse than in a time-trial environment anyway. Although recently there were reports of dogs getting bitten at the World Championships in Italy. Shockingly none of these actions resulted in disciplinary actions 😡 not sure how I’d feel in that scenario
@@thatspottydogruns Hopefully it is rare that blood is drawn between dogs (I have seen fur fly though). I would hate if muzzles were mandated from a few bad actors. The canicross crowd seems to have more temperamental dogs than the multidog sled dog teams I have seen. I wonder if this is because there is a more personal relationship when running behind your dog.
@ quite the opposite - muzzles are often banned at some of these events! I suspect the big teams don’t get a chance to interact as there is so much time between them on the trail. Canicross works best with close racing… it’s how humans work too 😁
Nice route!
@@NatalieEa100 it’s such a fun course! Perfect for Dizzy 🤩
