Do you know what canicrossing is?

If you are a dog owner and enjoy being active, canicrossing is a great choice. It is a sport discipline that involves running with your beloved pet. Canicrossing is a very demanding and intense sport. It runs short distances up to 5 km, achieving high speeds at the same time.

Can you do canisrossing with every dog?

Theoretically, every dog ​​is suitable for this type of physical activity, but in practice a dachshund or a French bulldog may have problems with covering such a distance. The age of the pet is also important. An elderly dog ​​or a small puppy will not be a good companion. On the other hand, huskies or German shepherds will be an excellent partner. These breeds have a natural predisposition to run, obey commands and show leadership qualities. The dog should weigh at least 12 kilograms, be at least one year old, and be in good health.

How to prepare for running with a dog?

Warming up is very important, as is the overall good physical condition of both your dog and yours. Therefore, it is worth starting with slow runs to strengthen the body’s efficiency. Only later should you gradually switch to a more intense form of training.

For canicrossing, you also need a specialized harness, a leash with a shock absorber, a dog harness, a hip belt and additional accessories such as a water bottle for your pet. Appropriate sports clothing and comfortable and safe shoes are also extremely important. Thermoactive underwear by Treen will be great.
