The answer: absolutely! But, as with anything, there are a few things to consider before strapping on your rucksack and setting off with your pup. Rucking is a fantastic way to ensure both you and your dog get plenty of exercise. It’s a win-win: you get stronger, and your dog gets the workout they need to stay happy and healthy. Then there’s the bonding aspect. That said, not all dogs are suited for rucking. Some breeds are born for endurance and adventure, while others… not so much. If your dog is brachycephalic (flat-faced) like a pug or bulldog, or struggles with joint issues, it’s best to leave them at home and opt for a more relaxed way to exercise together.

Dogs are amazing.
In 2018 a dog completed the GORUCK 50 Mile Star Course.
They can go great distances as long as they train up and are eased into them.
If you have any tips of your own please let me know in the comments.
When rucking with your dog you have to worry about more than just yourself.
I’m always looking to make the rucks with Watson more enjoyable.
Dogs get thirsty for water.
