I love it! Too funny! What a great invention for a dog that loves to run.
The only problem with them is cost. They are very expensive to buy, and if you make one of your own you have to do it JUST RIGHT, or you can put pressure on the dog injuring it.
Mom,
Thanks for barking in. You’re right that they are expensive. Might be a good item for bike rentals to offer…
I saw one of these at a dog mushing camp I was at…it looks really fun! It would be ideal for leader training and summer fun!
I have officially seen it all. I am not sure whether I should think is clever or cruel.
Best,
Kyle Park
Oh cool! That is awesome! Its kinda like bikejoring! (bikeskijor.com)
C’mon Kyle Park! Dogs go NUTS for running! It is NOT, no way, cruel!
Husky’s especially go insane if they can’t run.
I bikejor with my 25 pound dog (some people say thats too small for mushing) even if he runs so much that he starts foaming at the mouth I have to get off and walk the bike so he will stop and not hurt himself!
Urban Mushing rocks!
