Canicross

What is Canicross?

Canicross involves running with your dog attached to you via a comfortable waist belt and a bungee lead. Your dog wears a specially designed harness that allows for safe and efficient movement while pulling. The sport is popular among active dog owners and is an excellent way to improve both your and your dog’s fitness.
