Excellent Do's and Don'ts

Dogs breeds vary widely in their ability to run longer distances and how frequently. This book spells out differences owners need to take into account. General guidelines about age to begin, how to start, etc., are extremely helpful. The author's background as a runner and her own experience running with her dog and organizing the first dog/owner run, coupled with the input of veterinary experts, makes this book extremely valuable to dog owners who want to run with their dog.

Annoying title; really good book.

I don't know who made the author -- or who let the author -- use such a stupid title. The author's a woman, for starters, and running dogs are a great safety boon to female runners. Notwithstanding the title, the book is quite good. It contains general information for novice human and dog runners; it contains charts and reviews about the running ability of different breeds; and it contains detailed information about training and first aid for your running dog. Well worth the price.
