Trailering a Dog

wrote:
Anyone have any experience taking a dog along on a day long bike trip
utilizing a bike trailer. The dog is a 8 month old Brittany and is
being trained to jog along next to the bike. This works ok for up to
10 miles or so, but for longer rides am considering some type of
trailer the dog could be put in when tired. The dog will, when fully
grown, be about 30 lbs. Would like to hear from anyone with
experience in this area.

We tow a Wike dog trailer http://www.wicycle.com/dog.htm behind our
tandem. It's basically a modified child trailer: the seats are removed, the
hard floor is covered with a foam pad, and a leash is secured to the frame.

It's a good trailer, but the dog is still getting used to it. She loved
curling up in the trailer when it was sitting in the living room without
its wheels. But she fusses a bit when it's rolling down the road behind the
tandem. Now that DST is here, we're hoping to take more midweek rides with
her, to help her get used to the experience.
