Hi, I'm Laura, the face behind Actidog. Actidog started out from a love of canicross, a sport I discovered over 10 years ago when looking for activities to do with my German Shepherd x Husky dog, Loki. We started running together and I was hooked! Since then, I decided to become a canicross trainer, helping West Yorkshire dog owners discover the joy of canicross with their own dogs - and I've never looked back. I run regular individual sessions in Huddersfield and Wakefield, and have partnered with dog clubs further afield to offer group workshops for their members.

As well as canicross training, it's my pleasure to provide dog walking and home pet visit services around the Huddersfield area. I focus on solo walks for dogs who aren't a good fit for group sessions, whether that's due to age, temperament or medical conditions, with every dog's walk tailored to their specific needs - and yours!
