Tips For Running With Your Dog


Are you the athletic sort? Good for you. Not so much? Well, there’s still hope.

Walking, of course, is the best overall exercise because it doesn’t take a gym or fancy equipment, and it’s low-impact, so most of us can do it. Walking the dog is good for you, and for your pooch.
But some dog breeds also make great running partners. And if you want to give your dog more of a workout, you can benefit as well.

First, make sure your dog is healthy enough to run and is a breed that is suited to running. Dogs prone to hip dysplasia, or who may have trouble breathing, like bulldogs, might not be suitable running partners.
