My 3yo boxer mix Rolo was hard work as a pup,in every way.He was constantly hyper and I used to have to excercise him so much just to tire him out enough to make him managabe.Rolo is dog agressive with some breeds so I keep him on the leash most of the time but he used to pull all the time and training him to walk without pulling was taking ages.Places to let your dog loose are minimal and usually busy.So I thought I`d try him running with the bike coz I`d seen others doing it and thought if he wants to pull let him pull.We`ve been dog cycling for nearly 2years now and both love it.Not long after we started Rolo began to walk nicely on the leash too,like he realised the bike was for pulling and the leash for walking.He`s not a big dog Rolo but he`s strong and his stamina continues to grow,for the first 10 mins of our ride it`s just Rolo going flat out and me sitting,then as he eases off I start to pedal with him.I use simple horse commands to speed him up and slow him down.My 1speed bmx is now a 25cc enviromently friendly moped its great fun I`d totally recomend it.Does anyone else like to let their dog pull them on their bicycle?
