ISDW Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I trained mine whilst walking with them Yeah, thats what I initially did. If you can, try walking the same route for a while, so every time you make a right turn, say Gee, left turn, Haw etc. The dog will get to know the route and so will learn to associate the words with the turnings. My lot still decide sometimes not to take any notice of me though, my son was on the scooter with two of our dogs, who I think are very good, but he forgot to say on by at a junction, so they decided to suddenly turn right, leaving him flying through the air into a bush. His own fault though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 oh ouch! lol Hope he was ok Snowdog - you can get a link attachment that clips from one dog to the other so they can't cross over or go separate ways - might be easier and cheaper than just getting 2 bike attachments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 If I am running two dogs on a bike, I usually just attach a two dog line to the stem (the bit in the middle of the handlebars) and use a neckline like Sarah suggested to connect the dogs together. I prefer that to some of the other arrangements as it is easier to control the bike when the dogs are pulling from the front. You just need to keep your eyes on your dogs to make sure you don't run over the lines and get a tangle. Yes Sarah - I have experienced those kinds of tangles loads of times - no fun at all!!!

Northenstar Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well,snowdog,you can also make them.It isn`t hard to make a gangline and you can make for as many dogs you want.You just need a few meters of rope,some carabiners and an elastic rope(for the shock-absorber).You can buy these from a local building materials store and you can choose any colour and dimension. Here are a few pics` of the "fresh" 2 dog secion gangline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benno_bro Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 What a great thread! I think I'm going to try and teach Mya the commands ready for when she is a little bigger. Hopefully I can convince the wife we should have 2 huskies too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
