Even if you have just started canicrossing, it is good to start introducing commands early on. Here are are tips for introducing the left and right Canicross commands.
Hey! I’m starting canicross with my 12 month Labrador. She’s great she loves to run and pull a lot, however whenever we run she bite the leash and will end up running sideways. We bought a soft and chuck it retriever toy so she would have that in her mouth in instead of biting the belt but I would like for her to not have anything in her mouth because she will also tend to drop the toys at times and go back to the leash. Thanks !!
Make sure you are using the commands so she knows what the "job" is that you want her to do. Building command training distracts them from behaviours like this. It may take time to build the behaviour change but short training sessions working on it really helps 🐾🧡
