Pay Attention To Your Dog
One of the most infuriating things for a dog lover to see is a person jogging with their pup without checking on their dog at all.
If you want a workout buddy, you have to actually be a buddy. No matter how healthy your dog is or how many times you’ve gone for a jog with nothing going wrong, there is always a risk that something bad could happen, and you have to be prepared.
Watch for signs that your dog is limping, trying to pull over or stop for a break, breathing too heavily, or showing signs of dehydration. Pay attention. Every run. Every time.

Precautions for running dogs
Dogs who are too young or too old should not run for a long time because of the damage it can do to their bodies. Puppies whose bones and joints are still developing can suffer from permanent conditions if they start running too early.
DO NOT take your dog for a workout immediately following a large meal, no matter how healthy they may be. This can lead to Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus Syndrome, which you probably know as bloat.
Bloat can be life-threatening if it is not corrected with surgery quickly.

Is Jogging Or Running Safe For Dogs?
If you’d like to go for a longer jog, Weimaraners, German Shorthaired Pointers, Vizslas, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Dalmatians, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Border Collies, Poodles, and Siberian Huskies among other breeds are suited for long, steady runs.
For short bursts of speed or sprints, Greyhounds, Pit Bulls, English Setters, Beagles, Belgian Sheepdogs, and Pharaoh Hounds among others are good at going fast for a short time.
