Following on from his overview of Canicross (in our Canicross playlist at https://bit.ly/3jF5HAa), George Humphreys from Ashridge Canicrossers takes a closer look at how to get started.

George has a lot of helpful information on how to undertake the training and how to ensure that the sport remains safe and fun for both dog and owner. He also explains why he thinks the best start is finding and joining a local group.
