Guest vin Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Bought one of these off fleebay..I usually go in the local parks etc etc on my bike with the dog running along behind me...but she always goes on the grass when she has the chance and follows along at her own pace of various amounts along the journey. So i thought if i put her on one of these I can regulate the pace better and also keep her feet on the concrete etc etc..Also can do a bit of road work late at night. Quote Link to post

NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just keep a eye on her pads mate. Roads and footpaths can be very harsh compared to grass on your dogs feet. 1 Quote Link to post

sandymere 8,263 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 If she's picking the grass it may be that her feet are already a little sore, I've noticed with mine that they will do so for a while when I first increase distance. The bike will give a good base of cardiovasculer fitness but she will need some galloping to get her running muscles up to scratch 1 Quote Link to post
Mixed Bag 603 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 bike work is good for general fitness and toning but like nookanna says dont go too fast til her pads get use to it Quote Link to post

Guest born to run1083 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Good piece of kit that and worth while buying, I've got to get some serious miles under my bitch as this year with the way her season has feel she's seriously unfit for how I would want her to be so close to the start of the season.
