Canicross changed our rescue dog's life

What this episode covers

Louise and Michelle chat to Katie Parker and Jack Avery from Pickles Pet Pantry, who share the story behind their independent pet shop and how their own experiences as dog owners shaped the business and canicross club they wanted to build. At the heart of the conversation is Fred, their rescue dog. When he first arrived, he was energetic, unpredictable and highly reactive, making everyday walks a challenge. Katie and Jack explain how patience, training and discovering canicross helped channel Fred's energy, build his confidence and strengthen their relationship. Today, he's a much calmer and happier dog who loves racing. Whether you've adopted a rescue dog, live with a reactive dog, or are simply curious about canicross, this episode is full of honest experiences and encouragement. In this episode we discuss: Why Katie and Jack started Pickles Pet Pantry. Meeting Fred, and the realities of owning a reactive dog. How a behaviourist told them there was nothing they could do to help with Fred. How canicross gave Fred a positive outlet for his energy. Advice for anyone considering canicross with their own dog. https://www.picklespetpantry.com/
