5K Training Guide: Running with Dogs

Running your first 5K is a great way to fulfill your need to lose a few pounds, get fit and do something fun while beginning a new healthier lifestyle. Training for a 5K with your dog is a huge motivational advantage. You have a built in running partner that is ready to go every single time - rain or shine, day or night.

This Training Guide was designed to lay out a specific program for those who have never run or walked a 5K before and those who have but want some coaching for their dog. It gives added motivation and dog training tips to those who already have completed one and for those just starting out. For those who have run a 5K before you can add time, speed and distance but the dog training tips apply to any dog.
