Advice on focusing

[Tom Juggins Photography]

I am looking for advice on how to capture running photos of my dog, I can never seem to get my dog in focus. This was taken with a Fuji XT3 with a shutter speed of 1/2400.

Does anyone use a Fuji XT3 who could give me some advice or even some general advice?

Do you use continuous focus and focus tracking?

The big thing with the Fuji system (that is different from Sony, for example) is that only some lenses have really good continuous autofocus. I have the best results using continuous autofocus mode and a lens with fast contrast autofocus. 

I use this site (https://alikgriffin.com/a-complete-list-of-fujifilm-x-mount-lenses/) to know which lenses will provide the best continuous autofocus experience. In general, it's the newer weather-sealed lenses (although that's not always the case). 

Beyond that, you can try using spot autofocus and get use to moving your camera to keep the spot on the moving subject. (This method I find more reliable in a fast-moving situation than other methods).
