Do you ride with your pet or hope to? How?

We have Lulu the Bloodhound and Agnes the Border Collie/Flat-Coated Retriever mix. We had a trailer built by Howard Kaplan to accomodate both dogs, but so far nervous Agnes jumps out of it every time. Lulu is calm and patient. It has 4 wooden walls, with the back wall flipping down to form a ramp. We need a better harness rig. It's a work-in-progress.

We also have a very large double baby jogger that I found in the alley trash. We used it to take Lulu home from her spay surgery (we are car-free). She sat in it very nicely.

Agnes is a candidate for learning to ride next to a bike - has anyone ever used those bars that hold your dog away from your bike? Without it, she would surely dart if she saw a squirrel.

Hi, Julie and all. I finally took photos of my trailer - here is one but the rest are on My Photos in my profile, and also in the recent public photos on Chainlink's main page. Julie, it could probably transport 3 cat carriers, it's so big! It was built for 150 pounds of dog. Let's watch for nice weather to test-ride your cat to his pet-therapy gigs!

i taught my dog how to jog along by always keeping her on my right side and once she learned that , it was very easy. having more than one dog complicates things. it is best to work with one dog at a time. the parks like humboldt or portage are a gret place to do this.

Roofis, next time you're out with your dog, can you try to get a picture of the co-riding action? Did she ever run the wrong way?
