Many people enjoy running or hiking with their dogs.
It is as important to train your dog to run or hike long distances as it is to train yourself. Dr. Pijanowski recommends starting out slowly, putting the dog on a training schedule similar to your own. Begin a training regime by running or walking your dog around your neighborhood increasing the distance as you and your dog become conditioned. Once properly conditioned, trips on running or hiking trails can be attempted. Nutrition is another consideration in training your dog.
