IMO, this is potentially very bad for you and/or the dog.
Would you make your wife run beside you on a leash (vice versa)? |
I ride with my dog all the time and it is usually the best part of my day and I know it is for him. Sometimes we use a leash, sometimes not. I always let him set the pace and he knows to stay to my right. This is just around my fairly rural neighborhood though, not near much traffic at all.

Any advice on how to train my dog to run on the SIDE of the road as I ride ON the road? I've tried WALKING her on a main road without a leash and she runs to cars. We actually only ever use a leash when we take her to the vet, but I'm guessing I start by buying one of those long, retractable leashes and commanding and tugging her back if she steps on the pavement. My goal is to have her accompany me off-leash. Any further suggestions? Also, how many miles would you say is too far for a young adult Dalmatian in good shape? (About a third of the time she'd be walking, because I'd be going up hill. Interspersed with that would be running or trotting, as I ride on a level road or coast down a hill with some braking to match her top speed [if she seems to have energy for it]. She'd be running on dirt/grass with occasional gravel.) Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge!

A 14 year old thread lives on, and a post from nine years ago gets a response in a bump.
