BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 ok so last night i decided that i was going to start running/jogging with Blaze - as Bings is too old and Skyla is too young and i THINK Blaze could do with the extra exercise - hes got ALOT of energy so i think this is the best way to burn it off - a few questions tho - when hes FINALLY running at a steady pace that i can quite happily keep up with lol - is there a certain word/command i should use or is it ok to use any i feel like?? also ive been running with him wearing his ezydog harness - is this ok or do i need to get him a different harness - he will be being ran with twice a day for roughly 20 mins - is this ok? hes 19 months old now - i know you shouldnt overrun with pups but its our first time running so will twice a day for 20 mins be ok - or should i build it up slowly? - he wasnt very tired after our run this morning he still pulled abit after thanks in advance guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyries Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 well he wont be running at full pelt with you tied to him so i'm guessing he'll be fine hun, as for the harness Dave runs with Odin in his ezydog one xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I run w/Dakota using his EzyDog, and he seems fine with it. Like Linda says, it's not like they're running flat out (well, maybe for the first 50 yards or so!). I am certainly no expert, but it works for us. The angle of my 5' lead from my waistbelt to his harness is a lot higher than if he were pulling a bike or scooter on a longer line (then I'd go with xback or something similar).

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 i hold his lead in my hand - not risking him round my waist he is FAST!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex T Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 i hold his lead in my hand - not risking him round my waist he is FAST!! lol Nix - just from a safety point you may be better with it round your wraist, at least if you stumble or something you dont have to worry about dropping the lead!

valkyries Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 get a belt nix then his lead wont cut at your waist xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 its just im more worried that hes so fast hes gonna damage me ive had him round my waist on walks and if hes seen a cat or summin he nearly slices me in 2 - but when hes in my hand i can redirect him - im only running around this bit ov grass just over a hill atm till we both get used 2 it before im running properly cant afford a belt for another week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hock Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I actually like the hand lead myself because you can more easily control the lead so it doesnt wrap around your legs or something. Harness for him would be fine as Valk said, your not going to be running full speed with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 ok so i ran again with him this morning - god im REALLY beginning 2 feel it lol - i kept his lead in my hand untill he had calmed down abit and wasnt going as fast then i tied him around my waist he was EXCELLENT we ran over the hill near my house and ran around there for abit then i got bored n decided 2 run half ov the walk we normally do - he was excellent till we got 2 the spot where he saw the cat on his walk - but i gave a gentle tug on the lead and gave him the on by command n he followed - he didnt even blink when we saw a dog he had a look over but carried on running - i got home and nearly collapsed haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
