  1. Dogs Not Behaving Badly

    19 OCT

    Dogs Not Behaving Badly

    We are often asked on social media if any dog can Canicross, especially those with anxiety or behavioural issues. Happily, the short answer is yes…but it isn’t simply a case of buying the kit and heading off onto the trails. It’s useful to know your ‘Canicross code’ which includes using the equipment correctly and also incorporating commands whilst you are running so you can be in more control. For some people, having the guidance of a dog trainer, can also be a great benefit. We are joined by Clare Grierson who is our DogFit Trainer in Enfield and a highly regarded dog trainer. Clare is a big advocate of Canicross and how it can help complement her training and is going to share some of her knowledge and experiences with us in this Episode. For all things Canicross, kit advice, classes and support - please visit www.dogfit.co.uk If you would like to get in touch with Clare, you can find her website here: www.muddymutleys.com

    Harness Up for the Canicross Season

    For many of us with children, September marks ‘Back to School’ but it also serves as a good time to re-set our fitness goals for the remainder of the year. And for those of you who are considering trying Canicross or even looking to improve on your existing skills, speed and endurance, this is the prefect time to seek out some classes; as the weather is also cooler and much more comfortable for our four-legged friends. So we wanted to dedicate this entire episode to giving you an insight into what you can typically expect from a DogFit class, and how our certified Trainers are equipped to guide and support you and your dog to achieve your fitness goals; whether it’s simply to enjoy quality time out on the trails or achieve a specific milestone such as your first 5k.

    The 'what, why and how' of strength & conditioning for Canicrossers

    We are pleased to welcome Cat Batson to our latest podcast. Cat is an experienced Personal Trainer and DogFit Trainer, and we asked her to join us to discuss Strength and Conditioning (often referred to as S&C) and why all Canicrossers should consider including it in their weekly exercise programme. We’re going to delve into the 'what, why and how' of strength and conditioning and hopefully reassure you that it doesn’t need to take up too much of your time and is something every one of us can and should do to complement our aerobic activity.

  5. Mental health and the power of Canicross

    Mental health and the power of Canicross

    We are delighted to have  Daisy Hickman on this episode, she is one of our Ambassadors and a regular Canicrosser. For ten years, Daisy dedicated herself to long-distance trails and club running events, however six years ago, began experiencing debilitating panic attacks during her runs.  After numerous medical tests she was eventually diagnosed with exercise induced panic attacks and the pleasure of running seemed completely lost. However enter Pepper, who came as a puppy and when she was old enough gave Daisy the confidence to consider running again.  As well as being great company Pepper became Daisy's anxiety antidote. The connection they shared on the trails made Daisy feel less alone, providing a distraction from anxiety and a sense of being looked after.  The power of Canicross is a remarkable thing and so interesting to hear about their journey. You can follow Daisy and Peppers adventures on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/petalpawsdaisy/ For more information about Canicross, kit and how to run with your dog, please visit: https://dogfit.co.uk/

    From blind Canicrosser to DogFit Trainer: The inspiring journey of Paralympian Jess Tuomela

    If you are a regular follower of DogFit you’ll know that at the heart of everything we do and stand for is a passion to spread the positive word of Canicross and its inclusivity for all - and when we say ‘all’ that’s people and dogs of course. So when four-time Paralympian Jess Tuomela contacted us about her desire to join the team as a DogFit Trainer, we were beyond excited. And even more so when she agreed to speak with us on our podcast today. Jess lost her sight at 3 years old, but this didn't stop her; she is a complete inspiration.

    Canicross - the perfect tonic for reactive or anxious dogs

    Do you have an anxious, reactive or nervous dog and think Canicross is the last thing you would be able to do with them, especially with a group of people and their dogs? Well, you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that Canicross can be a positive experience for your dog, and we have countless examples over the years of people who have seen their dogs transform into confident and focused dogs who simply want to run and enjoy being part of a pack. Ginetta and I receive enquiries pretty much every week from people who want to try Canicross but are worried their dog may not be suitable for Canicross, so we wanted to address that today and hopefully allay any fears you may have. We are joined by Lynzi Mulford who is our DogFit Trainer based in Shoreham. Lynzi has vast experience in helping nervous and reactive dogs. In fact, her own dog that she runs with, River, is reactive. And it’s on the back of her experiences with River that Lynzi receives enquiries from people who want the same positive results with their dogs. So we thought, who better to have on our podcast? If you would like to start Canicrossing with your dog, we can help you both every step of the way. www. dogfit.co.uk

  8. The incredible search for Darwin Canicross dog

    The incredible search for Darwin Canicross dog

    On the 29 September 2023 our friend and fellow Canicrosser, Sue-Lee faced every dog owner’s worst nightmare. While she was away on holiday, her Labrador Darwin was being cared for by a friend. However he managed to unexpectedly barge out of the front door and bolt up the road. It was nightime, and reports then came that a large black dog had been hit by a car and then had run off out of sight into the woods. Sue was contacted immediately, and she flew straight back from holiday to find her dog. Given that Darwin had disappeared in a built-up area that he knew well, you might think that he would have been found quite quickly. However, it was over six weeks before he was caught and reunited with Sue Lee. We wanted to share this story with our listeners, as lots of valuable things to learn about how dogs start to behave differently when they are lost. Here are links to the groups that were key in helping Sue find Darwin. https://m.facebook.com/SolsticeMissingDogs/https://m.facebook.com/groups/DroneSARForLostDogsUK/?locale=en_GBhttps://m.facebook.com/lostdogrecoveryuksouth/ If you would like to know more about Canicross or looking for kit, classes for support, please visit: https://dogfit.co.uk/
