Get fit with your dog with Canicross

What is Canicross?
Why canicross with Swift Paws?

Canicross is an exciting and fast growing sport where you run off road with your dog.

 

Whether you're just starting to get fit, trying to get into running or are a seasoned pro - it's a great way to get and stay fit, bond with your dog and socialise with other dog lovers. And on top of that it's lots and lots of fun!

​

You get to learn commands so that your dog knows which route to go, and you and your dog where a special harness so that you can both run together safely and 'hands free'.

Whenever you undertake any exercise or training programme, it's important to know that you are in the safe hands of a professional trainer who has your best interests at heart - and when you're exercising with dogs it's even more important. Whilst Canicross is 'easy when you know how', as with any exercise programme it's important that you are shown how to do it properly and safely.

​

Sian will be running our Canicross sessions and is an experienced sports coach and qualified and insured dog professional. On top of this, she has recently completed her DogFit Certified Canicross Instructor course (which is the only REPs Certified Canicross Training Provider) and is trained to deliver this fast growing sport in a safe, structured and fun way. We are also a registered DogFit partner.

​

Not only does Sian deliver fun and safe sessions, but she's also trained to be able to fit you and your dog with the right Canicross equipment to make sure that you and your dog can get the most out of every session.
