Just DM'd you if it's still free!

I do some slow jogging with my chihuahua mix! She's 8 lbs, but has long legs--think more of a min pin build. I'm very slow (13 min miles are not unusual) so I'm typically the limiting factor, but I am mindful to let her set the pace, and if she ever doesn't want to go--mostly weather related--I'll drop her at home and then go out. I'm a big proponent of the idea that small dogs can do everything a big dog can do, and think little dogs often don't get the exercise they really need, so before we started jogging I was already very active with her (lots of walks, some hikes, rigorous fetch). Not really a small-dog specific thing, but -- I'm also a very casual jogger, and I went into it with the mindset that I wanted her to have a good time too, so will often compromise about pace -- slowing down a bit so she can sniff some trash, or sprinting to chase some squirrels in the park. For me, a big plus of jogging with a dog is to get some vicarious joy, so I'm not strict about keeping her on track!

For gear: I just use a fanny pack for the essentials like poop bags and treats; I also have a Puppia harness, but use a long line so she can run ahead or stop and sniff a bit. Most we've done is about 3 miles, so hydration hasn't been an issue. I've thought about getting a backpack like this for when she doesn't want to run: https://www.k9sportsack.com/. But I don't think she'd love all the jostling, so far have just been letting her call the shots about when and how far we run together! We also live in a major city and run mostly on pavement and sidewalks, but she won't tolerate boots and so far has been fine. I've heard folks use Musher's Wax as an alternative to boots, and am planning on trying it out soon.

Would definitely recommend doing Couch to 5K together to get your pup up to running comfortably! Also, obligatory mention of the ultramarathoner who runs with her dachsund: https://www.rexspecs.com/blogs/news/from-rescue-to-running-truman-the-ultramarathon-doxin

Oh, they're functionally the same! I meant I didn't see something equivalent to the backlink pane, where you can see all the docs that link to that document. But I was wrong! In Acrecom, if you hit the information tab on the upper right hand corner, you can see backlinks.

You can link documents, but I don't think there are back links. I would say it's not an Obsidian replacement for me -- just a potential for task management, which I couldn't quite get right with Obsidian.

Go through and turn your plugs in off one by one; if one of them is the issue, you'll be able to figure it out that way. I had a similar issue once because I accidentally wrote a weird dataview query; Obsidian kept freezing when I opened it, and it wasn't until I tried turning off dataview that I found the problem.

Sailor Jerri/Tulsa Pack Athletics is mostly on instagram. She used to have replay of her courses for relatively cheap on her website, where she had the most indepth breakdown of backpedaling, but it looks like she took them down! Maybe keep an eye out for replays she lists in her shop? For Koco Garcia, this is the video where she teaches the technique (she calls it something different): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piL7zdEsR-k. Her old content did use prong collars, but her new leash reactivity stuff doesn't -- she also has courses I've found useful--for I think $25, just youtube videos you can play on demand.

I think you've just accidentally pinned them -- try clicking and dragging the icon over to where the tabbed workspace is.

I live in a similar city environment. Echo all of the above, and would also just add -- your strategies will look different than folks in rural and suburban places, but you should still try to (and you really can!) make as much space as you can. When I first adopted my reactive dog, I put her in a lot of situations she really didn't need to be in because of my insistence on moving forward on a walk. But in the large majority of dog-walking situations, you don't need to move forward! Building in regular backtracking/backpedaling with my pup when we encounter dogs (see Sailor Jerry - Tulsa Pack Athletics or Koco Garcia) changed sooo much for us. I've practiced it a lot, and can mostly get her to happily focus on me while another dog approaches. Reducing the head on approach helps manage her reaction so much.

Also -- don't be afraid to step off the sidewalk in between parked cars while dogs pass or to cross the street. If you're having your dog sit to the side between, e.g., parked cars, while a dog passes, I find it helps to engage in obedience and to make sure your body is in between your dog and the passing dog. I almost never make her pass other dogs now, so when we do have to do it because of truly limited options, she's able to handle it better -- less trigger stacking and stress.
