DogFit, the UK’s leading canicross brand, is celebrating 10 years of empowering people and their dogs to get fitter, healthier, and happier together. And local DogFit Trainer Trainer Sara-Jane is helping people in Shropshire discover the benefits of this incredible sport.
“I love seeing the transformation in people and their dogs—from nervous beginners to confident canicrossers,” says Sara-Jane, a certified DogFit Trainer based in Ludlow, Shropshire. “It’s about so much more than fitness—it’s friendship, fresh air, and freedom.”
