Curious about canicross but not sure where to start?
This beginner-friendly class introduces people and dogs to the exciting world of canicross in a welcoming, supportive environment. Canicross is a dog-powered sport where your dog runs in front while connected to you with specialized equipment, creating a unique partnership built on communication, teamwork, and movement.
No prior experience is required. In fact, this class was designed specifically for beginners.
Whether you're a runner, a walker looking to become more active, or simply searching for a new way to adventure with your dog, Intro to Canicross will help you learn the fundamentals needed to get started safely and confidently.
During this hands-on class, you'll learn:
Basics of the sport, equipment, harness fit, and how to get started safely.
Build the Foundation: Teach your dog the skills that make canicross fun and successful. No running experience required!
Learn the Cues: Practice directional cues, line-outs, passing distractions, stopping, and other essential trail skills.
Teach Your Dog to Pull: Use fun, positive exercises to build confidence pulling into the harness at your own pace.
Put It All Together: Practice your new skills through hands-on drills, games, and optional short age appropriate run for puppies and adult beginners.
This class includes equipment demonstrations, practical instruction, guided exercises, and opportunities to practice skills in a supportive group setting.
Loaner equipment is available for first-time participants.
By the end of class, you'll understand the fundamentals of canicross and have a clear path for continuing your journey through classes, meetups, and community adventures.
No perfect dog. No perfect runner. Just a willingness to get outside and try something new together.
