Runner’s World magazine this month has a great special section on running with your dog. In addition to lots of great photos, it’s filled with useful information. Among the stories:
Five Reasons to Run With Your Dog: Number one: a wagging tails reminds us that “running should be joyful.”
The Best Breeds for Runners: A great chart that breaks down, among other things, the best breeds for long, slow runs (standard poodles and dalmatians), running on trails (border collies) and most obedient running companions (Labradors and golden retrievers, of course).
Running Accessories for Dogs: Where to find the best power bones, poop bags and travel bowls.
Training Your Dog for Endurance: You wouldn’t run long distances without training, and neither should your dog.
People Who Run With Dogs: The post includes a fun video showing a photo shoot and interviews of people who run with dogs, including one great story of a dog in Alaska who saved its owners from a mother bear with cubs.
To see all the articles on offer, go to the magazine’s Running With Dogs link.
