Pawhood Community Love — 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 — 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.

With world champs coming up, we need to start learning the rules 😊 lets learn together for the walfare of our animals. 🐾🐕

𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐀𝐗𝐈𝐌𝐔𝐌 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐃 𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐃𝐎𝐆 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐂𝐅 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬
ICF Rule 8.6.7:
As a reminder The dog is only allowed to race twice:
- One Junior or Adult Trail AND a School or Young or Cadet Trail
- One Junior or Adult Trail AND a Relay
- One School or Young or Cadet Trail AND a Relay
- Two School or Young or Cadet Trail
Therefore, if a competitor registers for more than the allowed races and in different disciplines, he must take part with two different dogs.
𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:
The rule 8.6.7 is stating that the dog can only race twice, it doesn't matter if the competition is 2, 3 or 4 days.

🌧️🐾 WELL… THE WEATHER HAD OTHER PLANS! 🐾🌧️

This weekend’s Canicross social run unfortunately had to be cancelled thanks to some rather enthusiastic weather! 🌧️💦

As much as we LOVE getting out there with our two-legged and four-legged running buddies, safety comes first — always. ❤️

There’s no point chasing kilometres if the trails are unsafe, slippery or the conditions aren’t suitable for our runners and our dogs.

So, instead of running… we stayed dry, watched the rain and probably ate snacks. 😂

But don’t worry — we’ll be back on the trails soon! 🏃‍♀️🐕💨

Because sometimes the best run is the one you sensibly postpone. 😉

Thanks for understanding, and remember:
Happy dogs + happy humans + safe trails = a good day out! 🐾❤️

📐🐾 THE BLUEPRINT OF A CANICROSS TEAM

Every great canicross team needs the right components…

1 Human — determination, questionable decision-making and a willingness to get muddy. 😂

1 Dog — enthusiasm, instinct, four-wheel drive and absolutely no concept of “easy pace”. 🐕💨

1 Bungee line — keeping everything connected when things get… exciting.

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

A whole lot of trust + communication — the most important components of all.

Put it all together and you get something pretty special…

Two hearts. Four legs. One team. ❤️🐾

Because canicross isn't just about how fast you can run. 🐕🏃‍♀️💨

🌅🐕 7AM STARTS ARE BACK! 🏃‍♀️🐾

Canicross West Rand kicked off the new season with our first 7AM social run — and what a way to start! 🙌

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

There’s something about a morning run at Syringa Park that always puts a smile on everyone’s face. 🌳☀️

Great trails, happy dogs, happy people and plenty of wagging tails! ❤️🐶

Once again… happy people & happy dogs! 🐕❤️🏃‍♀️
