Canicross Spring Skills School Online Course (Starts April 7th 2025)

Description

Have you ever wondered what you can do to help your canicross training?

Do you want to learn and perfect your canicross cues?

Are you or your dog just starting out or coming back from injury and need to build up strength?

Do you want to do something productive to help injury-proof yourself and your dog this spring?

Do you want to make sure you and your dog are as strong as you can be for canicross?

We can help you with all of these things in April to ensure you are both confident and strong in your canicross

Join us throughout April 2025 for our online four-week Canicross Spring Skills School Course

We will be giving you:

• 2  x canicross skills each week to work on (can easily be done and preferably done in a walk, to begin with)
• 2 x canine exercises each week to work on one of our key foundation fitness areas taken from our Active Dog Academy model of canine fitness
• 2 x human exercises each week to work on the corresponding key foundation fitness area, so you and your dog are working on the same type of foundation exercise
• Tips on warming up and cooling down for you and your dog
• A weekly live check-in session with us to trouble shoot any problems or worries you might have

At the end of the 4 weeks you will:

• Know your 8 main canicross cues and have practiced them on your walks/runs
• Have 8 key core canine exercises for foundation strength for your dogs’ fitness
• Have 8 key core human exercises for foundation strength for your own fitness
• Know about how to warm up and cool down and why it’s so important

PLUS – you will get access to all the support and help you need from Emily & Toria throughout the 4 weeks
