    Join us for an episode of The Back of the Pack Podcast that tackles a surprisingly common runner's nemesis – dogs on the chase! Host Kyle dives into "When Good Runs Go Ruff," inspired by a listener's harrowing experiences with canine pursuers during her training runs. This entertaining yet practical episode unpacks why dogs chase runners in the first place and equips you with a complete survival guide: from mapping "danger zones" and perfecting the "stop and stand" technique to exploring whether treats might turn foes into friends. You'll hear real stories from fellow runners who've faced everything from terrifying pack encounters to unexpected canine friendships. Whether you're a dog lover who just wants peaceful runs or someone whose heart races at the sound of barking, this episode delivers the perfect blend of science, strategy, and humor to help you navigate the unpredictable world of four-legged encounters on your running routes. Remember, at The Back of the Pack Podcast, "I make the mistakes, so you don't have to" – even when those mistakes involve accidental dog races!
