Running with your dog is a fun way to spend time together and helps keep both of you in shape. Plus, having a running buddy can be an important source of motivation.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - illiNews -- To train your dog to be the perfect running companion, check out the following tips.
The Right Breed and Age to Start Fun Running
Before you start your training program, make sure your dog is suited to long-distance running. For example, brachycephalic dogs (those with short muzzles), like Bulldogs or Pugs, should only sprint for short distances. Also, be aware that running is not safe for puppies, as their bones are still growing. For most breeds, wait until the dog is about a year and a half old.
Even within breeds, every dog has its own personality, and some will take to running more than others. Consider your dog's temperament, research its breed, and take your pupper to the veterinarian for a physical checkup to ensure that this is a safe activity.
