Pawhood Community Love โ€” meet Tarran and Birdie.

We'll let Tarran tell it in her own words:

"Hi dog lovers, this is my dog Birdie and myself. We are so excited to be featured by Pawhood this September! Life with Birdie is all about exploring, having adventures, and finding new places we can enjoy together.

I love that Pawhood makes discovering dog-friendly parks, markets, classes and workshops so easy โ€” and makes it easy for people to find my own Canicross workshops too. It takes the guesswork out of finding places where our dogs are genuinely welcome, and makes it easier to connect with other dog lovers.

For us, it's a fantastic guide to new adventures and a more dog-friendly life together. Thank you Pawhood."

Thank YOU, Tarran. This is exactly why we built it.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿพ WELLโ€ฆ THE WEATHER HAD OTHER PLANS! ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒง๏ธ

This weekendโ€™s Canicross social run unfortunately had to be cancelled thanks to some rather enthusiastic weather! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ

As much as we LOVE getting out there with our two-legged and four-legged running buddies, safety comes first โ€” always. โค๏ธ

Thereโ€™s no point chasing kilometres if the trails are unsafe, slippery or the conditions arenโ€™t suitable for our runners and our dogs.

So, instead of runningโ€ฆ we stayed dry, watched the rain and probably ate snacks. ๐Ÿ˜‚

But donโ€™t worry โ€” weโ€™ll be back on the trails soon! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’จ

Because sometimes the best run is the one you sensibly postpone. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks for understanding, and remember:
Happy dogs + happy humans + safe trails = a good day out! ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

๐Ÿ“๐Ÿพ THE BLUEPRINT OF A CANICROSS TEAM

Every great canicross team needs the right componentsโ€ฆ

1 Human โ€” determination, questionable decision-making and a willingness to get muddy. ๐Ÿ˜‚

1 Dog โ€” enthusiasm, instinct, four-wheel drive and absolutely no concept of โ€œeasy paceโ€. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ’จ

1 Bungee line โ€” keeping everything connected when things getโ€ฆ exciting.

1 Harness each โ€” because running attached to your dog with the wrong kit is definitely NOT in the blueprint.

A whole lot of trust + communication โ€” the most important components of all.

Put it all together and you get something pretty specialโ€ฆ

Two hearts. Four legs. One team. โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Because canicross isn't just about how fast you can run. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿ• 7AM STARTS ARE BACK! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Canicross West Rand kicked off the new season with our first 7AM social run โ€” and what a way to start! ๐Ÿ™Œ

We had a little surprise detour on the trail this morning ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ, but instead of letting it slow us down, it just made the run that much more fun and adventurous!

Thereโ€™s something about a morning run at Syringa Park that always puts a smile on everyoneโ€™s face. ๐ŸŒณโ˜€๏ธ

Great trails, happy dogs, happy people and plenty of wagging tails! โค๏ธ๐Ÿถ

Once againโ€ฆ happy people & happy dogs! ๐Ÿ•โค๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
