NEW iPET NETWORK LEVEL 3 AWARD IN CANICROSS COACHING
The effect of activity is to allow your dog an outlet for energy which might otherwise be used for destructive and stress-related behaviours around the home and garden. Canicross is a great way to exercise a dog who can't otherwise be let off lead due to a high hunting instinct for example.
Regular exercise for dogs is essential for their health. Recent studies estimate that as many as one third of dogs nationwide are overweight or obese and this figure is set to rise. Obesity is linked with diabetes, orthopaedic disease, heart disease, respiratory distress, high blood pressure, skin diseases and cancer (much the same as in people), so you might even be prolonging your own life as well as your dogs’ by taking part in Canicross regularly.
But, beside all that – its great fun!
