Canicross is running cross country with your dog. The difference between canicross and just regular trail running your dog, is that canicross is powered by the dog! Special harnesses are used to allow the dog to have optimal and comfortable pulling. Dogs are connected by a bungee lead: no longer than 6 feet, which is then attached to a special running belt on their owner. The belt and bungee lead allow for shock absorbency and keep the owner from any back injury.

Hook Up & Chase Tail!

The Human / Dog Team

The dog may be pulling, but the owner is the driver! Dogs are taught special commands for things like "left", "right", "slow down", "speed up" etc. The goal is to work as a team to get to the finish line!

Conditioning is very important for you and your dog to stay in shape and free from injury. We advise contacting your veterinarian or finding a licensed physical therapist certified in canine rehabilitation to make a training plan. We hope to see you out there on the trails!
