🐾 What’s the biggest difference CANICROSS COACHING has made to you and your dog?

We asked some of our recent Couch to 5K graduates this question — and their answers really say it all. ❤️

💬 “I have belief in my ability to run and push myself. I am fitter and healthier and mentally happier — the same goes for my dogs.”

💬 “I am now running without pain. That has been the biggest game changer for me. I ran with pain for so many years and never felt like I could progress.”

And THIS is why we coach. 🐕‍🦺🏃‍♀️

Couch to 5K isn’t simply about getting you from walking to running 5K.

It’s about building confidence, fitness, resilience and belief in yourself — while learning how to run safely and effectively with your dog.

Seeing our athletes discover that they CAN run, watching their dogs grow in confidence, and helping them achieve things they never thought possible is what makes it so rewarding. 💚

🎃 Our next Couch to 5K block starts this October!

That means you could go from “I don’t think I can run” → Couch to 5K graduate BEFORE CHRISTMAS! 🎄🐾

If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is your sign.

📩 Drop us a message or head to CANICROSS COACHING to find out more about the next block.

You don’t need to be a runner. You just need to be ready to start.

🐾 **CANICROSS ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT RUNNING FAST!** 🐾

At **Canicross Coaching**, our regular group walks are an important part of helping both dogs and owners develop the skills they need to enjoy canicross confidently.

These walks give everyone the opportunity to practise those key canicross skills at a **slower, more controlled pace** — without the pressure of racing.

🐕 **Practise your calls** – giving owners the chance to work on the timing and consistency of their commands.

🐕 **Work around other dogs** – helping dogs learn to work comfortably in close proximity to others while maintaining focus.

🐕 **Build confidence** – giving newer dogs and handlers a supportive environment in which to learn.

🐕 **Learn from experienced teams** – confident, experienced dogs can demonstrate the behaviours we want to see, providing some brilliant four-legged role models for our newer recruits.

And the best bit? **Everyone gets the opportunity to train, whatever their pace or experience level.** 💚

This walk was a fantastic example of how much can be achieved when we take the pressure off speed and concentrate on developing the foundations.

Sometimes, slowing things down is exactly what your dog needs to move forward. 🐾

**Canicross Coaching** provides practical, supportive coaching for runners and their dogs, helping you build the skills, confidence and partnership to enjoy canicross together.

We hold relevant permissions to train in many local locations, including the gorgeous forest at Sherwood Pines.

We are now up and running....🏃🏽‍♀️ ( pardon the pun!) with our very own app! 📱

Having worked very hard for the last few months to create our own coaching app, we are super proud to have created something simple and purpose built for canicross.

We've limited places in our app for coaching, as each client receives bespoke plans direct to their own account and they can take advantage of the resources and information we have gathered all in one space specifically for them.

There is only ONE SPACE LEFT for coaching and currently we are offering BESPOKE coaching for two months at a discount for our founding athletes.

Can't make it to a session, but don't want generic training plans?
Get in touch and take advantage of our last open space!

Wow!!
This has been an amazing last seven days! We have been super busy and want to introduce the latest team to join the canicross family! We were privileged to meet the wonderful duo of Hetty and Wilfy and introduce them both to a more appropriate set up for their running adventures. 🏃🏼‍♀️🐕🌲

We fitted Hetty with a proper running belt to save her back from jolts and we also helped Wilfy feel more comfy in a running harness.

As a very active pairing, we are sure they will be out and about hitting the trails together for some great adventures and joining our groups for fun in the forest very soon!

Who runs the world?? 🌎

What an epic end to the couch to 5k block with all these ladies smashing their 5k on undulating trails today!!

So proud of them 😊

Couch to 5k ran over 8 weeks and involved working with the dogs and their humans to build confidence, endurance and mental strength!!!
We couldn’t be more proud of the girls today!! Even though not everyone could make it for this final run, we salute the ladies for their commitment and focus!! 🫡

💧 How do you hydrate?

We all think about hydration while we’re out running… but what happens after the run? 🐾

A good drink and a chance to recover are an important part of looking after your canine teammate — especially after a hard session or a big adventure.

We’ve been using and recommending Furr Boost as one option for helping encourage dogs to take on fluids, and we love how easy it is to incorporate into your routine.

🐕 Run
💧 Rehydrate
❤️ Recover
🐾 Repeat!

How do you help your dog rehydrate after a run? Let us know in the comments!

Tagging Furr Boost go and give them some love too! 🐾
