walk your dog on a unicycle?!?

Just the other day I saw a guy on a coker walking his dog, I followed
him for about two blocks then he dissapeared. When I got home I tried
it and got an awful faceplant, my dog is no way in a lifetime gonna sit
still... So can you walk your dog on a unicycle? No I wasn"t stalking.

I used to walk ours on my 20" which was just nimble enough to react
every time he (our dog) would decide to stop smell lamppost etc. I
can't imagine being able to do that on a coker.

I've done it on a 24 and a 29 but not a coker, that sounds like suicide

I know two people who do it. One uses a coker. The other uses a muni.

I have a daschund which I walk/run while I’m on my muni. It is very
pleasant. I have one of those 5 meter spring retractable leads - It is
kind of like a tape measure, so the line is always taught and does not
drag on the ground. I recommend this to all prospective dog walkers,
and I highly recommend it to all dog joggers/runners

When Sophie (the dog) decides to make a very sudden sniff-stop, I
usually have time to stop, and there is enough lead length to idle
while does whatever she does.

This is the type of leash:

I've tried it once or twice. It would depend on the dog, the course,
the rider.

Here's a pictu

This is Brutus, and he's leash-trained enough that he won't go yanking
too hard on the leash. He likes to stop and pee at bushes and stuff,
and I can't idle, so I pretty much had to go down the middle of the
street to keep him away from distractions.

Our other dog runs this way and that and pulls pretty hard, and I don't
think it would work well with him.

Having Brutus mainly messed up my free-mounting, took me more tries.
Actually riding around with him on a leash, there's times when he pulls
when you don't want him to, but then there's times you get off-balance a
bit and can pull against the leash to stay up. So with the right dog,
it's not necessarily harder than just riding. I can't glide, period,
but that might actually be easier with a dog than without.

More often than not, I walk my dog on my muni. She is very comfortable
with it and she always stops to pee in the same exact places so I know
where to stop. I tried walking her on my KH36 a couple days ago but
it's not very practical because she doesn't like to run on a
leash.
