About this episode
Ever wondered if your dog could be your next running partner? In this episode of The Dirt Podcast, co-hosts Coach Loretta and Coach Lindsay are joined by special guest Coach Wendy to talk all things running with dogs.
From figuring out if your dog is built to run, to how to start safely, train smart, and avoid common mistakes. We dig into pacing, surfaces, weather, gear, hydration, wild animal encounters, and how to tell if your dog is actually loving the run—or just trying to keep up.
Whether you're dreaming of miles with your pup or already logging runs together, this episode will help you keep it safe, fun, and tail-wag approved.
