CANICROSS
WORK OUT WITH YOUR DOG!
Canicross is the sport of cross country running with your dog. It is a great way to keep you and your dog fit whilst creating a special bond between you.
Specially designed kit allows you to run safely, naturally and hands free.
I am a Dogfit Certified Trainer and offer a range of services from taster sessions for complete beginners, right through to the longer social runs.
Canicross is perfect if you are short on time and struggle to find the time to exercise AND walk your dog!
ARE YOU a regular dog walker wanting to increase your own fitness?
DOES your dog have high energy levels, behavioural issues or simply cannot be let off lead?
ARE YOU looking for a fun way to get fit and be part of a group of like-minded people!

FAQ
Can any breed of dog canicross?
Whilst most breeds of dogs can canicross, there are some breeds that are not suited such as the short-nosed breeds like boxers and pugs; very tiny (toy) dogs simply won't be able to keep up and giant breeds are prone to bone damage.
What age does my dog need to be to participate?
Your dog must be fully matured before participating. This is typically around one years of age but may vary. We strongly recommend you seek advice and guidance from your vet if in any doubt.
What kit do I need to start canicrossing?
As well as running attire (including a pair of off-road trainers), you will need 3 items - a waist belt for you, a harness for your dog and a bungee line. These items can be purchased from our partner website www.dogfit.co.uk
Do you offer any discount for purchasing kit?
Top of the range kit is available at discounted prices for Revival Fitness clients. Before you make a purchase on www.dogfit.co.uk, contact me for the discount code and save 5% on the listed price.
I'd like to try a taster session but don't have any kit
Our taster sessions include complimentary hire of the waist belt, harness and bungee line.
How fit does my dog need to be?
Any level of fitness is fine but just as you would need to start slowly and build up, so does your dog! If you and your dog are new to fitness, our Couch to 5k program is ideal.
Does the weather affect canicross taking place?
In the hot summer months, sessions can continue but take place early morning or evenings only, providing those times are not too hot.
Sessions continue to take place on rainy days providing conditions underfoot are deemed safe (i.e. not slippery etc).
