Wallking The Dog.....
 

My dog loves running with the bike, thank goodness she comes home and takes a nice nap. Anyone here ride and walk the dog?

I used to with the dog I had as a child but had her running loose beside me not attached to the bike.

You really ought to get her a proper harness - pulling you along can't be good for her neck on just a chain.

She wasn't attached to the bike nor was she being pulled! LOL That was the 1st time we did that, we have a harness now.

Yes, my little pooch loves to run with the bikes! We have a harness for her while we're on streets, but once we're on trails, she's off leash.

I think a dog should be on a leash for 2 reasons:
1) A leash on a dog is how a master shows ownership
2) A freed dog may run on the road and it can get hit by a car

I don't think pavement is good for the pads on the bottom of dog's feet. Walking them on grass and ground is supposed to be much better for them. Same with human puppy girls...

ok. it just looked a bit like she was pulling you along at some points.

your puppy is so cute!

We have five dogs, three American Eskimos and two Pomeranians, and we take all of them for walks while we ride our bikes. The one Pom loves it, and we can't peddle fast enough for him. The others are content with it. It does give them a lot of exercise, and they always sleep well.


Seriously? We got the idea to run them with the bikes from watching "The Dog Whisperer." Ceaser often either has high energy dogs pull him down the street while he's on rollerblades. We've also seen Ceaser run dogs with a bike. The pads are tough, and as long is it's not a puppy you're running, pavement isn't going to hurt them.

Here, Ceaser rollerblading with Huskies:

I looked into it a bit further, and the problem seems to pertain to hot pavement. The hot street is not good for their pads, but I guess it's okay otherwise.

It was in March and we have so many huge trees that the road isn't that hot.

People seem to be really concerned about your dog, it looks to me he's enjoying himself.

You can get wax for your dog's pads if you're running a lot on hot pavement or sand or ice in the winter. http://www.musherssecret.net/

I thought I was going to get more flack about her being a pitt than worries about her paws.

Thats a good way to end up in the hospital.

cutie dog :3

Thanks Elli!

looks like fun :)
I have a Cane Corso and she could pull two bikes no problem :)

great way to exercise the dog without getting a heart attack yourself. I have a border collie mix dog that has tons of energy myself and might try that trick

Thanks! I've never seen that before. My daughter's chihauhau/fox terrier mix hates the cold pavement and always manages to yank her little boots off. We also had to take my daughter's Jack Russell to the vet because salt got caught in his pad and burned his little foot.

I'll be looking for this stuff.
