Does anyone use riding or cycling or biking to exercise your dog?
I think its a great form of exercise & I must say my dog loves it! I fi take her into a park and let her off to do her own thing she stays stuck at my side.
So I take her cycling with me quite often and she loves the fast speed (not too fast of course), she's all puffed out at the end but shes wagging her tail and rolling about its brillaint. Im so glad I can share something with my dog that I enjoy to.
I would love to do biking with my dog. I'm afraid that they'll pull me & make me wreck though. LOL How can I train them to run beside me on my bike while I'm riding? I did this with a couple dogs that I had before, but they just automatically took to it. I'm not too sure that these ones will. Do you have any recomendations on how to train them for this? Thanks.
I wouldnt know about training or the proper way, but this is what I did.
I would run with my dog and I would try to get her to run straight & Beside me I did this so she wouldnt cross sides etc while I was on the bike and get ran over by me lol.
Once she would run straight I would just cycle slowly so that she could walk beside me and get used to it & really I just took it ffrom there and picked up speed ect.
One thing I would make sure she/he is aware of is that not to cross sides I did this by keeping her tight on the leash on the left side of me while riding slowly and she just sort of picked up to stay on the left side so I can now keep her leash loose.
I started biking by walking beside my bike with them then on my bike. I use a prong collar or a halti when i use a leash. Make sure you bring lots of water and watch your dogs feet. My dog Kimmie ran beside me offleash (I thought she would stop) mostly on grass until her paws bled and I cant fint booties anywhere.
Try to keep your dog away from hard surfaces, chech their paws, dont go too fast and bring lots of water.
