You want to stay fit. Your dog is bouncing off the walls. And somehow “I’ll just go to the gym” never quite works. In this episode, I sit down with Tanya Dobrzanski to talk about harness dog sports — one of the most underrated ways to build real conditioning with your dog instead of leaving them home. We cover: • What harness dog sports actually are • Who they’re right for (and who they’re not) • How to get started safely • Why they’re especially powerful in winter • The fitness and community benefits most handlers overlook If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a way to train and include my dog,” this is it. All your questions asked, and a quick start guide, by the president of Canadian Association of Harness Dog Sports, Tanya Dobrzanski.
