Ridin' with the dogs
We just sort of inherited a dog, and she's young and lean and fast and likes to run. Well today I took her to my local muni loop, which doubles as a doggie park. The loop is a hilly one mile loop and we did four laps. She's a good dog and comes when I call and she stayed with me the whole time, aside from dozens of short side sprints to check stuff out. This is going to be a mutually beneficial. I get to go on more muni rides to "take the dog for a run", and she gets the workout she craves. Anyone else run their dogs by muniing? -- steveyo steveyo ...like having your own personal rollercoaster... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52633 |

I did/will. The key is to be careful by making sure the dog will have a water supply (to drink and cool off) as well as check for injuries along the ride. I've done about a thousand miles with my dog and he has gone with the group. -- ChangingLINKS.com Wishing you Happiness, Joy and Laughter, Drew Brown 'Changing LINKS' (http://www.ChangingLINKS.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ChangingLINKS.com's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5468 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52633 |

Yeah, this loop is along a small river for the 1/4 mile flat part and we stopped there to cool off. -- steveyo steveyo ...like having your own personal rollercoaster... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ steveyo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52633 |

I would walk my dog but i'm afraid of running him over. Sometimes i ride around with him in my arms, which he loves. -- one wheely Why stroll...when you can roll?

Ridin' with the dogs
My mate who I'm gonna be flatting with as of next week just bought a 6 month old Weimaraner... I'm looking forward to going gliding behind it, KH & Brew styles! Has anyone got any tips for how to train a dog to be better at towing? I guess you'd want to be able to say "faster" or "slower" to good effect... and you'd want them to know to aim for the smoothest line available. -- pete66 Peter Shilton wrote: "You've got to believe that you're going to win, and I believe we'll win the World Cup until the final whistle blows and we're knocked out." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pete66's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4812 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52633 |

I have a cattle dog that would try to herd me sometimes UNTIL I RAN HER OVER TWICE now she stays clear and I take her on my rides everynight around the neighborhood and get in about 4-5 miles a night P.S. Where in Upstate New York are you?

George Peck had a dog with him in "Rough Terrain Unicycling" almost the whole time. I don't think he ever hit it, maybe he just cut that part out of the movie. -- smcmorrow \"It's knot gonna make it!\" -snuffiluffigus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smcmorrow's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10881 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/52633 |
