Canicross is fast becoming one of the most popular ways of running with dogs - so why not invest in some canicross equipment and give it a try? Running with your dog offers numerous health benefits for both you and your beloved canine companion. All breeds of dog need to get out for at least one walk per day, but many working dogs such as Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes or Samoyeds need to get out in the fresh air far more often than this. Therefore, running with your dog is a great way to keep you both in shape whilst having fun.

What do I need to get started with Canicross?

One of the most attractive aspects of canicross and running with your dog is its simplicity - purchase a few pieces of canicross equipment and you're ready to get out and get active. All you need is a canicross belt, which sits around your waist or hips allowing for hands-free running, a bungee line to connect you and your dog, and a canicross harness for your dog, which is comfortable and secure.
