Running with DOG: How to start? (Read 174 times)

Best of luck training the new running partner!  I have a miniature schnauzer that's almost 13, and he can still hang with me for 5 miles.  My big tip would be to learn your dog's temperature limits.  They normally don't do well in heat - mine begins to slow around 60F, and anything above 80F is too much for him.  At 50F, however, he seems invincible!

Also I'm a fan of a harness-style collar, anything that doesn't choke the dog directly.  They tend to get wrapped around streetlamps and poles, so standard neck collars could be harmful.
