I've been thinking of taking my pup on my morning runs. Has anyone else done this? Is it a good idea or a recipe for disaster? Share your experiences!
Don't do it. Dogs aren't meant for high-intensity exercise, especially not at 6 am when they're still waking up. You'll end up holding them back or worse, them holding you back. Stick to solo runs and give your pup a separate, shorter walk. Trust me, your times will thank you.
I've run with my dog a few times and it's been a blast! Just make sure to start slow and train your pup to run by your side. Also, don't forget to bring poop bags and plenty of water.
