Training Dogs to be Enjoyable Running Buddies
Some dogs are natural running partners, but others struggle to understand that they are there to run with you and not the other way around. Dr. Karen B. London explains what dog owners can do to help prepare a dog to be a good running partner, strategies to keep them focused while on a run, and equipment considerations that make running with a dog a better experience for everyone.
