TESTIMONIALS

The Cani-Fit Academy was set up to deliver a quality online learning experience for future leaders in the sport. Check out what some of our graduates have to say about their time learning with us!

For anyone passionate about running with their dogs, the Cani-Fit Leaders course is an absolute must. As someone who has enjoyed canicrossing for a good number of years, I approached the course with a solid foundation. However, I was genuinely impressed by the depth and breadth of knowledge imparted.
Far from being a simple overview, the course delved into the nuances of leading safe and effective cani-cross sessions. What stood out was the emphasis on breaking down skills into manageable steps, equipping participants with the tools and techniques necessary to confidently guide classes.

This approach is invaluable for aspiring leaders, providing a clear framework for instruction.
Beyond the core discipline of canicross, the course also thoughtfully introduced us to the joys of cani-hike, expanding our understanding of how to engage dogs in different outdoor environments.

A crucial element that cannot be overstated was the comprehensive training on harness fitting. Ensuring the comfort and safety of our four-legged partners is paramount, and the detailed guidance provided on achieving the perfect fit was incredibly beneficial.

The Cani-Fit Leaders course is more than just a certification; it’s an empowering experience that equips you with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to confidently lead others in the rewarding world of cani-cross or cani-hike. It fosters a deeper understanding of canine biomechanics, safety considerations, and effective coaching techniques. Whether you’re a seasoned canicrosser looking to share your passion or new to the sport and wanting to learn the right way, this course provides a robust and inspiring pathway to becoming a knowledgeable and responsible cani-fit leader.

Who Paws Wins
I set up Formby Canicross social group in November 2023 because there wasn’t anything local to me. We have just over 40 members, and most of them are beginners. I wanted to offer beginner lessons to encourage them to attend our social runs and not just join the FB group!
 
The cani-fit leader course was perfect for this because it covered exactly what I needed. I get many questions on kit, and this was covered well in the course. I have my first beginners class on Sunday and it’s already oversubscribed so I’ll have to offer more classes. I’m confident now that I can encourage new people to the sport and help them enjoy canicross as much as I do.
