Anna Roberts- Canicross/Bikejor & Scooter

Doncaster and surrounding areas

Hi there!

I am the founder of ‘Jog with your Dog’ based in Doncaster.

I began Canicross in 2008 in Germany when I got entered into a half marathon by a friend and I hadn’t exercised since leaving the army!

My dogs have always been rescues and mostly with reactivity issues too. Max, my extremely reactive collie excelled when we began Canicross. We found some kit that made it easier to run together hand-free as, just to add to the excitement, I also had a double buggy to push at the same time!

After doing this for 3 years in Germany, we moved back to UK where I decided to set up a running group to help improve mental health and it became quite popular. We then moved up North (the joys of army life!) where I started all over again with my two dogs where I set up another gained my ‘Leader in running fitness & coaching’ qualification and also became a Personal Trainer. I am now known here as the crazy lady who runs with dogs on bungees AKA ‘Hatter Roberts’!

My specialist subject is mental health and reactive dogs due my experience with both. I love how running together creates an amazing bond with your dog and that you can watch even a reactive dog excel and enjoy some excitement, sometimes even socialise, whilst not being overwhelmed due to having a job to do.
