Jogging Doggies

Does your dog like to run, but you don't like it, have no time for it, or are not physically able to run yourself?

Does your dog need a little extra exercise after a lazy winter?

Do you want to start running with your dog, but want to know how to do it safely and effectively?

Do you and your dog want to jog together, but not do it alone?

One-on-One Runs

Jogging Doggies will soon be offering a chance to book customized runs for your dog with an experienced marathon runner!  You can sit back, relax, take a break, bring your coffee, and a good book or newpaper to read while your dog gets the run it wants so badly.  The sessions will be tailored made for your dog's needs, abilities, age, and health, and will get more demanding as your dog's running abilities develop.

Classes

Learning sessions are also coming to teach people about running with their dogs!  I know, you'd think you'd just put on the leash and go running, right?  But, no, there's much more to it and Jogging Doggies will have lots of tips and techniques in their upcoming lessons covering running for people and for running with your dogs.

Jogging Doggie Group Runs

For those graduates of our running classes who want to run with their dog themselves, but not do it all alone, there will be group runs planned where you can get that extra motivation you need to get out-and-about, and you will also get to connect with others whose loves include both dogs and running.
