Has anyone heard of canicross?

Yes, and I bought a canicross belt and lead as recommended on here by @JoanneF, but it was for a different reason. I'm not fit enough for canicross

 

Yes, there is a group near here who had posters up in one of our forestry commission walking routes, advertising introductory sessions. Not my thing though!

 

Hi, maybe take a look at Facebook for local canicross groups. From what I've found, it's not all as serious as that photo seems to make out. Basically, it's just a group of people going out for a jog with their dogs....

 

The local group to me (Basingstoke) are pretty friendly so I would assume most wouldn't mind if you went for a jog with them anyway . Why not ask; "mad dog lady wants to have a go at canicross, mind if I tag along" - or something like that

 

A friend of mine does it on a regular basis around Surrey and West Sussex. Her dogs were not so good in the beginning so she used to borrow dogs. I would have done it maybe 20 years ago lol

 

Ahh, just seen the date on this, did you get to try it?

 

Oh no - it’s the heat! Lol

 

I think it looks brilliant- though with our current working spaniel I wonder how much time I'd spend on my face or wrapped round a tree, as in 'Oh let's dive in here after this rabbit...oh you appear to be lying in the brambles now! Why?'

 

I still randomly find threads that I think 'ooh that's interesting' and go to comment, but have learnt now to look at the date of post first!.. I am just rubbish at remembering my way round, if I go in a building I lose my sense of direction, there is no hope for me!!

 

I do agility and I find it difficult sometimes to remember the course - although I am improving

 

I'm so glad it's not just me - don't you hate how in pubs they'll direct the way to the loos, but not the way back to the bar again? I can get lost before I've even had a drink!
