Default Query, bicycle riding and dogs running beside

Hi,

Anyone doing this and any specific pitfalls to look for (other than
obviously the dog has to run straight and either leash-free or slack
leash).

I couldnt go at 'speed' with Cash (he's not allowed to) but if I just
lazed along, it would work? Start with Charlotte jogging him on leash and
me to the side with some distance? Him in the middle? Later, dual leash
to me and her? Test and see? Then if looks ok, Charlotte takes her leash
off after several trials?

Humm, worth thinking about at least.


Seeing as the Springer set-up won't work with your bicycle....google
'bikejoring' and see if that suits you guys better....it doesn't have to be
flat out racing speed, just go at whatever speed you're both most
comfortable with.

I bikejor with a GSP-x and a Collie-x, and we all love it!
