Beautiful, healthy, athletic ... dogs! Doing sports is good for man’s health, and if you engage in active sports with your beloved SBT, it is especially wholesome. So, what dog activities will you choose?
Canicross
The rules of this sport are very easy, because it reminds us strongly of usual jogging with the dog in our spare time that many of us love. There is a concrete distance in canicross that must be run with a dog and a man in a pair or rather in a friendly team. Moreover, they run on equal terms: the owner shouldn’t pass ahead of his or her SBT and pull it along. This is what judges that stand along the running track strictly monitored.
The dog and the runner are joined with a bungee cord or elastic line that is attached to the belt in canicross.
