Run 1 mile a day with your dog for 30 days and you will both benefit! My dog pulls me and has me running faster. Let's take a picture of our dogs and get running!

    My dog was crisscrossing in front of me all the way. I was thankful she didn't see a squirrel.

    You can take turns running with them. What kind of dogs do you have?

    I have a Samoyed who is well trained and runs with me regularly...he knows that I set the pace and he runs beside me without chasing or stopping to visit. He gets his bathroom time about halfway through and we're good to go.

    That's great! Yeah, mine is out of practice because we stopped for a month or so. She's still in puppy mode too. She's a 1 year old black lab.

    I love my dog! But he’s a “he” and has to mark his scent on everything. I think he thinks he’s checking and leaving his messages to his other friend dogs in the neighborhood. I’d rather take him on his walk and let him enjoy it and workout alone.

    My dog is old and small. Even on walks if we go too far, she just sits down on the sidewalk. I've had to carry her home the few times I took her too far.

    Now we have a treadmill and everyone is happy!

    both my boys are like this and one is a hunting dog although he is not trained to hunt if he gets on the scent of something he can take off the other way quite fast and spin me around 180 degrees. so running with him would be an accident waiting to happen. my pittie is a senior so he couldnt run far but he is fast enough I cant keep up so another accident waiting to happen.

    Yes, if your dog is older or stops alot it's better to take them for a walk. My dog is young,big and full of energy so after a few runs she will be trained where she doesn't run in front of me anymore. It's because we stopped running for awhile.

    My little corgi only makes it about a block or two before needing a break. Poor baby and her teeny legs.

    I ran 3x 5mins which added up to 1mile (eek, first time!) but the dog just slowly trotted beside me, unimpressed, waiting for her chance to go for a decent leg stretch!
