Summary
In this episode of Golden Tails & Trails, I’m sharing all the things I wish someone had told me before I started canicross. When I first began running with my dogs, I thought it would be simple — pop on any harness, head out the door, and off we go. The reality? A little more chaotic… and a huge learning curve. I’m talking about the beginner mistakes I made, what surprised me most, and the lessons that would have saved me time, frustration, and a lot of tangled lines. In this episode, we cover: The gear mistakes many beginners make Why running with your dog is different from solo running Common mindset traps when starting canicross Why progress takes time for both you and your dog The biggest lesson I learned about patience and consistency If you’re curious about canicross or thinking about getting started, this episode will help you begin with more confidence.
