I'd really love to get Mischa trained to mtb with me. We're city folk, so on leash and off would be ideal.
It use to be my primary source of exercise, and running is horrible on my feet and knees, so I've been relegated to walking for the past 9 or 10 months... :'( lol
She's closing in on a year old now, so I'm thinking once we get some milder days here, I'll give it a go.
She's getting better on leash, but is still far from perfect, which I would need if I'm on a bike with my feet clipped into the pedals.
I know when I do run with her, she focuses on running instead of sniffing, so I'm hoping once we get up to speed that she'll just run next to me, and not tug me down into the river.
I think I'll order one of those bike attachments and I was thinking about trying out a backpack instead of a harness. I've seen Cesar Milan use them as a way to put a dog in working mode. I'd be amazed if wearing a backpack meant "follow Dennis". Plus she'll carry her own water and be built like a brick-**** house in no time.
This could be great! ;D
There is a really cool set of trails that we do our GTA meets at. That place would be ideal for hours and hours of off leash running. And I might even be faster than her...I'm very curious to see about that.
