Would you like to learn to run with your dog?In partnership with our 'Feel Good in The Forest' programme Tees Valley Canisports are hosting a FREE introduction to canicross in Guisborough Forest.
Canicross is where you and your dog work as a team to run connected together by a bungee line (if you're lucky they might even help by pulling you).
Included in the session will be an opportunity to try on specific canicross kit, learn how to warm up yourself and your dog, understand how to teach your dog specific canicross commands like direction changes and running etiquette should you wish to run with others or in public spaces.
You don't need any previous canicross or running experience but it would advisable for you to be able to run 200m at a time as we will be practicing skills in short bursts. We won't leave anyone behind and will be running at a slow and steady pace and have lots of people on hand to support. There is also the opportunity to join the club for a 5k run after the session.
Spaces are limited so please make sure you can commit to the session. In the booking form below you can let us know if you need to borrow kit.
Please note your dog must be at least 11 months old to attend. We actively encourage reactive dogs to take part in the sport but please make sure your dog is muzzled (in a pant proof sport style) if it has a bite history and they will be able to cope with a group environment. We make sure each dog has plenty of space and we don't mind if they are loud or excited.
