Dog Lessons

|September 2017
Running with a dog can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Trail runner Sue Ullyett has been doing it for years…

RUNNING IS GOOD FOR US, we know that; but it’s also good for our four-legged friends.
The best way to stay motivated is to have someone reliable to run with – so why not your dog? They’re always happy to see you, they get really, really excited to head out the door, and they won’t let you down like a training partner might on a cold winter’s morning.
You get your fix, and your pooch gets some exercise at the same time.
No, not all dogs are built for running; but most healthy dogs love it, even if it’s only for a couple of kilometres. Still, whether you’re a parkrun newbie or a committed marathoner, there are a few things you need to think about first.
1. Make sure your dog’s up for it
You can’t go from the couch to a half marathon in one session, so don’t expect your dog to. They need to be eased into it.
