sniffynintendo Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'd love to hear any novel ideas on how to exercise your huskies, I jog with mine during the week but would like to try something new- scootering, triking etc. Our huskies pull my husband on a mountain board but this is too fast and requires too much balance :confused: for me so I'm interested in other suggestions??

rose Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I run ours with my mountain bike , have done scootering too but prefer the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I agree with Rose. If you are only running one or two, a bike is the easiest solution. We run our bigger teams on a three-wheeled rig, but the bike is ideal for simple exercise and exploring new trails. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Now we have 3 dogs we can run together we may invest in a 2nd hand rig next year i think as it is a bit too powerful with 3 pulling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 scooter or bike are great - have you tried roller blading - that's good as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffynintendo Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Do you just hold on to the lead when you cycle or do you use any sort of attachment such as a springer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'd be afraid the dog would see something and take off after it crashing me into a tree or something, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aksnowpeach Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Kai is a fetch whore! I put his long lead on him and we go out back and he will play fetch for a good 30 minutes and wear himself out. He has this "mondo globe" I bought him at a german petshop and he loves it. it is basically a ball with 4 more balls attatched to it and they each squeak a different pitch. he goes bonkers for it!

rose Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Best not to hold the lead , you would be much safer using a springer @ the side of the bike with the dog running in a padded shoulder harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
