A new way to get fit and have fun with your reactive dog!
When you have a reactive dog, you think about all the things you can’t do with them. All the plans you had for you and your dog are an aching disappointment because your dog is stressed out and so are you!
Canicross is different! this fun activity (no you do not have to be a runner) is something you and your reactive dog can do together. It will build your bond and can help build your reactive dog’s confidence in new environments and even around people and dogs.
I can’t wait to help you and your dog learn about this great activity!
What are the benefits of Canicross?
Canicross for reactive dogs
I got into Canicross as a way of giving my reactive Border Collie JJ the exercise he needed without having to let him off lead in public places where he might encounter people or dogs that he wasn’t comfortable with. I also found the Canicross community to be so friendly and accepting of my barky dog we were able to join some of the training meets and JJ actually made friends with both people and dogs while we were there. If you would like more information about how Canicross could help your reactive dog please get in touch for a chat or an introductory session so you can try it out for yourself.

1-2-1 Canicross Training in Lincolnshire & Norfolk – a personal 1 hour training session tailored to meet your needs and goals £25.
Perfect for reactive dogs!
We will meet in a quiet, reactive dog friendly location. This can be near Louth, Lincolnshire or at Harling Woods in Norfolk.
I will provide all the equipment you and your dog need. You just need to wear something comfy.
The session is tailored to your individual level of fitness. I will fit you and your dog with the right kit. We will spend time walking and jogging. Running is optional!
Whether you are already a runner or have never run before, I can help. I am a qualified Run leader and can tailor a program to suit you and your dog.
It is important to build up your dog’s stamina, so that they are able to run continuously. Our dogs are used to sprinting and stopping, not maintaining a consistent pace or running with a person attached to them.
I will also provide advice on how to train your dog to canicross, including teaching them voice cues for directions.
