But we can make the most of the “off” season by sharpening up the essential cani cross skills of passing other teams descending without death and going the correct side of the tree!

Meet the new three week intensive courses dedicated to canicross skills.

Each class has a maximum of two teams with one instructor.

Each week you concentrate on a Key skill then practice JUST that for the week.

Building skills in layers is more effective for humans and dogs alike!


**all classes take place at Yorkshire Museum of Farming, Murton**
