The best thing about canicross is that you don’t have to be an experienced runner to enjoy the sport. It is suited for people and dogs of all ages and abilities – though we do advise that your canine running buddy is fully grown (so at least 12 months of age) as their growth plates are still forming and too much stress can lead to complications later in life. If in any doubt, please seek advise from your vet.
