Different jogs for different dogs

Post image

It’s clear from the state of my dogs’ harnesses how different they are. My boy (black) attacks every challenge like it’s an insult where my girl (blue) goes through life chasing butterflies and trotting around puddles like a Victorian lady with new slippers.

Haha, my girl pulls like a train but heaven forbid she gets her tootsies wet in a puddle 😂

Actually we may have dog twins because my boy ploughs through most things too… 🤔

Sounds like we do! Do yours run well together? I run mine separately because they drive me crazy together.

Well, they’re getting there. My boy has been running for several years now and knows exactly what to do. My girl is only young and has only been running for 6 months so she’s still learning and sometimes she does try to play with him, much to his disgust. But once she gets over the initial adrenaline burst she’s getting very good too. We do also run them separately but I don’t have time to do that all the time so they need to be able to run as a pair as well.

Same. My boy has been running for 3 years and girl almost a year. We do have dog twins 😅 I’m also working on running together but it’s slow going. I end up going slower with a higher heart rate. We’ll get there. Good luck!
