Does anyone do Cani-cross?
« on: August 28, 2011, 08:03:27 PM »
With their little spangle?

Thinking of giving it a go with Henry, although I will have to get a bit fitter first :005: I haven't run in years, just went for a pathetically short one tonight and I think I'm dying....  ph34r

Milly'd probably cope quite well but I'd need a Heart Start and Oxygen ready after the first 100 yards  50 yards. :005:

LOL I had to look it up and then could see me ruffling "shuffle/run" singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (apparanetly that helps with a runners breathing!) and Toby crissing crossing my legs so I end up in A & E with a twisted ankle !!!  :005:

Ahhhhh BUT...This will help you :005:  You wear a waistbelt which attaches via a 2-metre bungee line to a padded dog harness. Will that help you!!!!!They do have cockers running also

My main problem will be teaching Henry to keep moving, and not to suddenly stop and sniff at things, roll in things, or veer off to one side after a bunny :o :005:

Going for my second run tonight, with Henry off-lead at the moment, will start teaching him about the harness bit once I'm slightly fitter ;)

Hiya,
I run with the dogs, and I love it. I've done one canicross race, but not with Charlie. ;)
