What is dog running?
Running is the quickest way to canine health and wellness
Dog running is exactly what it sounds like — running with a dog! The concept is as simple as it is effective. Dogs are born to run, move, stretch, and explore.
While most dogs today enjoy a relaxed life with air conditioning and ample toys, many modern pups miss out on vital time outdoors, doing what their bodies and brains were built to do.
When dogs don’t get an adequate amount of physical exercise and mental stimulation they suffer in multiple ways. Dog running can help improve the health of your dog in three key areas of canine wellness: nutrition, cognition, and socialization.
