Exercising is one of life's great pleasures. It's also one of the best ways to stay in shape and take care of our bodies, inside and out. That's why sharing any sports activity with our ARISTODOG becomes a fantastic plan, to get to know each other better, to spend more time together, to be healthier.
Today, we're thinking about all those runners who go out with their dogs. But especially those who are thinking of doing it. Go for it! It's true that the cold weather is coming, but with the right clothes, there's no problem. Just try it one day and you'll be convinced that it's a worthwhile routine. To make it even easier for you, today we're sharing the best mobile apps for running with your dog. It'll be much more fun!
Always keep in mind that depending on the type of dog you have, they may or may not like this activity. Always respect their wishes and pay attention to when they might feel tired or want water. Some dogs, like brachycephalic breeds, may find this plan very dangerous because they have difficulty breathing, and they should never be forced to run more than they want to.
(If running isn't your thing, you can always try doga. Don't know what that is yet? We'll tell you all about it in this post.)
Dog Walking
Dog Walking is the app for physical activity with your dog. It records daily walks with him and all sports activities: distance, time, map, calories burned, number of steps, and speed. It constantly monitors and saves all data, creating a diary to keep track of your and your dog's workouts on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
Set your outing goals and improve your fitness without fatigue by controlling the calories burned per walk and per sport. Dog Walking will also remind you when it's time to go for a walk. In addition, the integrated "step counter" monitors your steps and your dog's, checking if they reach the recommended daily limit.
It costs 0.99 euros.
Petometer
This is an app similar to Endomondo (runners will surely know it), but in a dog version. It's perfect for any trip you take with your pet. It allows you to know the route you are taking and also reminds you when you should take your dog for a walk. This helps you plan daily walks, count the time and distance of the walk or run, and know the pace you and your pet have kept.
In addition, you have a history of all your runs and routes, and even custom exercise tables for you and your pet. Each new adventure can be shared on Facebook so everyone knows how much time you dedicate to your dog and how much fun you have together.
Petometer is available for iOS and Android and is free.
Map My Dog Walk
This free app, also available for iPhone or iPad, is from the creators of the Map My Run app. Ideal for those who like to take their dog for long walks or runs.
It features real-time route, time, distance, speed, pace, and calorie tracking of fitness activities using the mobile device's enabled GPS.

At ARISTOSHOP, you will find everything you need to equip your dog and ensure your joint sporting activity goes wonderfully.
