Took the dog out tonight on the bike with me, worked out quite well actually. Managed to cover cover 5 miles at a nice jogging pace. How far do you think is a good/acceptable distance to cover on a bike with the dogs ? Mines 8 1/2 months now

i would,nt do anymore then that till he a bit older with him still growing ,but their no better way 2 get them ready for the season

to be fair mate i dont bother with the bike at 8-9 month, old but if you do bike it 4/5 mile at a steady pace a 2/3 times a week is ample with waking it free running inbetween even for a older dog imo

[Brian-911 210]

Right I'll keep it at that 3 times a week then, never had a dog run with me on bike before so making sure I don't over do it. Cheers

just as has already been said afew miles is more then enough for a dog of that age the last thing you want to do is damage the joint with run to hard

Just remember good rest is just as important as good excercise, I dont think id do that much with a dog of that age.
