Hello all you furry fitness fanatics!
|
Can you believe March is here already? Where did the last month go? 😱
|
|
By now most of you should be finding your paws by running three times a week with your canine companion. Still training your dog? Or trying to figure out if this activity plan works for you? That's okay too! As mentioned in previous pupdates, take the activity at your own (and your dog's) pace.

Earn Your Medal
HUGE well done to all of those who have hit the ground running with Tail Wag to 5K. Did you know, you're in with a chance of claiming a medal? Yup, everyone who completes the programme by running a tail-wagging 5K, will win a real bamboo medal from Burns Pet Nutrition.
|
In order to successfully claim your medal, you will have to submit evidence of your 5K run via email to [email protected]. To do this, screenshot or record your distance or steps via one of the mobile phone apps like Strava, Fitbit, Samsung, Google Fit or Apple health.
|
We recommend joining our Strava club where all your activity will be tracked. All you then have to do us send us a link to your page and we will do the rest. Strava will also help you to see all the progress both you and your pooch have made together.

Using Your Heels To Help Dogs with Wheels!
Broken Biscuits is a disabled animal advocacy organisation, seeking to remove barriers to these animals pursuing active and healthy lives. Just like with disabled humans, a life changing injury or illness need not be a life ending one. They work to promote the many options available to treat and rehabilitate injured animals and restore their mobility so that they can return to active lives.

Make your experience count by raising money for a great cause. Why not consider picking a local 5K race to aim for while raising awareness and money for this tail-wagging charity? One of the ways you can do this is by setting up a Just Giving page, or a donation page on Facebook and inviting your friends and family to donate! Don't forget to tag Dog Furiendly and Burns Pet Nutrition in your fundraising posts and with the #tailwagto5k so we can show our suppawt.

Remind me what I signed up for?

Studies have shown, that exercise is easier to stick to when you have a friend to do it with. Well, there is no better friend than your dog! We've teamed up with Burns Pet Nutrition to create a FREE exercise programme to gradually help you and your dog to run a 5K with your pooch in just 10-12 weeks. In conjunction with human running experts RunWales and canicross experts PawRunner, our tail-wagging programme has been carefully created for beginners; considering the health of both human and hound throughout.
