Does anybody else go out riding with their Dog

[johnnypie13]

just wondering if i'm the only one on here that does, here's us out in the Snow and yes that is an impatient look on the face of the Dog as i cant keep up with him

One of mine is way too slow, he tries but his legs are about 7 inches long so he isn't the vest runner. The other. One is better built for the job and she loves it.

We go steady on a short lead near the house but take it off when we get to open country. It is supposed to be a great training tool too as you can tell them to keep with you and locally reward them for doing so . It is in their nature to stay with you anyway so it is easy training.

My mate has a big dalmation who likes to wonder off. He bought a spring loaded pole that attaches the sofa harness to the seatpoat. Because it is sprung it won't pull you off .

mine has the tendency to run off ahead but comes looking for me after a while when i cant keep up

its not my fault the little bugger can get up to 30mph+

Not my dog, my riding buddy's - he's as mad as a box of beards and great company to have along on a ride.

I've tried it, but our two Cavaliers are a bit lively, and after one near miss in which I nearly ran one of them over, I decided that it was better to leave the bike at home!
