Explore our island with your four-legged companion
Trotting Dog is the island's first, and only, Dogfit Canicross trainer, dedicated to helping you and your four-legged companion safely explore the stunning landscapes and extensive trail running network of the island. Our mission is to make the experience of running and hiking with your dog accessible, fun, and safe for everyone, whether you're a local or a visitor enjoying our beautiful island.
What is canicross? A unique way to discover the Isle of Wight
Canicross is a fast-growing, hands-free sport that transforms a simple run into a dynamic team effort. By using a specialised harness for your dog and a comfortable waist belt for you, both connected by a bungee line, your dog can pull you along. This unique partnership takes the strain off you and turns your run into an exhilarating shared adventure. It’s an incredible way to bond with your dog, get fit, and experience the Isle's great outdoors in a truly unique way.
Guided experiences for every adventure
Trotting Dog offers a range of services designed to suit a variety of needs, whether you're here for a weekend break or you call the Isle of Wight home.
