I used to be worried about that as well. I would only do up to 2 miles when my dog was a puppy and now that he is full grown I don't think it matters so much. Plus I heard that it depends where you run. So a lot of my roads are paved, and that can be hard on their joints (as well as mine :) ).

I run with my dog he is a chocolate lab mix and he loves it! I have him trained to run off the leash. He usually gets way ahead of me then stops and waits for me to catch up. I only do this on my road, which is a dirt road and not busy. Otherwise I run with a choke collar and say his name and give gentle tugs to teach him…
