Golden Tails & Trails | Canicross,Trail Running With Dogs & Weight Loss for Women
Welcome to Golden Tails & Trails — the dog podcast for women who want to feel healthier, happier and more connected through life on the trails with their dogs.
I’m SJ, a women’s fitness and Canicross coach, joined by my two golden retrievers, Skye and Daisy — your four-legged co-hosts bringing muddy paws, real life moments, and plenty of trail-side wisdom.
This podcast blends dog stories, outdoor adventures, and realistic wellbeing conversations for women who love walking, running, hiking, Canicross, and building an active lifestyle with their dogs. Whether you’re starting your first dog walk for fitness, exploring trail running, navigating menopause, improving your mindset, or simply looking for motivation to get outside, you’ll find encouragement here.
Each episode includes:
• real-life stories from the trails with Skye and Daisy
• fitness, weight-loss and motivation support for women
• Canicross and running-with-dogs guidance
• dog kit and gear reviews to help you and your dog adventure safely
• expert guests from the dog, fitness and wellbeing world
• honest conversations about womanhood, confidence, mental wellbeing and everyday life with dogs
You don’t need to be a runner.
You don’t need perfect motivation.
You just need a lead, a pair of trainers, and a dog who’s ready for adventure.
So come along with us — walking, jogging, running and rediscovering wellbeing one trail at a time.
Because sometimes the best therapy has four legs and a muddy tail. 🐾✨
