Would you like to join a class, but worried that you might not be suitable for it?

Worried that you or your dog won't be fit/fast enough to attend one of our classes?

Wondering what equipment you need to get started?

Want to learn the basics of canicross so you and your dog can canicross safely?

Why not come along to our beginners canicross workshop in the Phoenix Park on Sunday 29th September 2024?

WHAT WE WILL BE COVERING:

~ What is canicross. We will talk about the basics of canicross and why it is so much more fun than regular 'running with your dog'

~ Equipment. The right equipment needed for canicross and why we use it. We will also get you and your dog kitted out in all the right gear for the class.

~ Technique. We will discuss running technique with a dog, how to teach commands and how to get your dog running out in front.

~ Practical work. Here, we will hit the trails and work on our technique with the dogs.

~ We will also talk a little about stuff like hydration and exercises that will keep you and your dog strong for the trails

N OTE: Proper canicross equipment will be required for class. This includes:

- a canicross belt for the human

- bungee/shock absorber lead

- suitable y-shaped harness for the dog.

Equipment will be available to borrow or purchase at the workshop and everyone attending will get a 10% discount on all equipment too.

*Please note that dogs must be a minimum of 9 months to attend, although it is recommended that large breeds be a minimum of 12 months
