This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
Item pages: the age at which a growing dog may start distance work and the growth-plate evidence behind it, a distance ladder by size and breed, the temperature rules that actually matter (canine heat illness is far commoner on an ordinary walk than in a parked car, and the published data says so), the ground-temperature check, winter paw care and salted pavements, canicross and bikejoring kit and commands, hydration on a run, what a dog's warm-up looks like, and the signs that mean turn around now.
A planner scales a human route to what the dog in front of you can do.
How to use it
Use Running, skiing and cycling with a dog to compare stable place facts and official facilities. Live opening, access and disruption information should always be confirmed with the operator before travel.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.

Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
