6 Week Canicross Beginners Course
Want to learn more about Canicross? Looking for something fun to do with your dog and help create a special bond. Our beginners canicross course could be for you.
The beginners class is a 6 week programme, which will cover introductions to canicross, kit fitting, how to warm up and cool down your dogs. And most of all how to have fun and enjoy running with your dog safely.
We will cover the basics of canicross and how to teach commands to give you better control and in turn making your runs even more fun.
Classes will be run in small groups of no more than 8 participants at a time.

Prices are from £100 for a 6 week course
Canicross Improvers Classes
For those who have already started canicross, but would like a bit more guidance.
Or for people who have finished the beginners course and want to continue to develop their skills running with a group.
These sessions will involve longer running distances as well as a mixture of different terrains and some more technical sections. As well as developing techniques such as hill work, technical turns and so on.
Classes will be in small groups and take place on a Friday evening throughout the winter
Most of these sessions will take part in the evenings or early morning. So a head torch or light maybe required.
Drop me an email to find out more information.
Prices start at £5 a class
1 to 1 Canicross coaching
Really want to give canicross a go? But prefer to learn on a 1 to 1 basis or maybe you have a reactive dog that you don't think is ready for group situations.
Then we also offer 1 to 1 coaching sessions - these can be booked for evenings and Sundays. We can cover the basics of canicross and structure similar to the beginners class.
Or if you are looking to improve we can sort out an improvement plan to help learn all the bits you feel like you are missing out on.
Message me today and we can have a chat.
1 to 1 sessions start at £25 a session
(depending on location)
Cani - Hiking classes
Cani - hiking is a great way to experience the feel of canicross, but without the running.
Perfect for those with older dogs, or dogs that need to be more active.
Our Cani - hikes are in small groups, and involve 4-6 mile walks where by you wear canicross kit, and teach your dog to pull at a steady walking pace.
On our group hikes you can learn all about how to teach commands and enjoy some lovely scenery along the way
Prices £8 a session or £15 if needing to hire kit for the session
Social Runs
Most Sunday mornings I host a social run open to all abilities, with frequent stops for regrouping, so you don't have to worry about your pace.
If you haven't attended a class before we do require you to do a 1-1 with Louise first just to check you have a basic unerstanding of canicross and handling your dog before joining the group.
