Dog Scootering?

[Freedom]

Isn't that similar to what Tamara does with the huskies in summer time?

Looks like fun! Of course, MY flock of fluffs would expect to be ON the bike, with ME the one pulling!

It looks like a lot of fun! I know a few of my agility friends just started doing it.

ETA: It looks like a much safer alternative to rollerblading (which all the dogs enjoy pulling me on), and you can use it on more surfaces!

Naturally!! I'd pay for a pic of that!!!

Lady would sit down, stare at me as if to ask "Dad, you want me to WHAT? I can't go any GOOD places with you behind me!"

I've heard of it. I think Delta and Doc might actually enjoy it. Lol

IF such a photo were ever to come in to existence, I don't think you could afford it, I'd be SURE the price was sky high, ha haaaa. Wait, then again, I always do show off my goofy dogs, don't I?


I STILL think it looks like something Tamara does / did!

maybe.. maybe get a regular scooter .. or a bike frame and make some mods.. I bet it´d be cheaper.. and just about the same..

sure looks like fun..

Wow, who comes up with this stuff? I can't see Tucker and Pippi pulling me anywhere. Taggert would take off in one direction and who ever was with him would have to go along and me - well, Taggert doesn't really care what direction he takes - I'm pretty sure I would end up on my head somewhere - and Taggert would never slow down! Smokey and Cinder - they might be willing to do it but more than likely they would think they should be the ones being pulled!

Also, I am somewhat a chicken. If they started going to fast, I would jam on the brake, the scooter would go head over heels with me on it. It just wouldn't be pretty at all!

Really looks like fun! I'd love to have one of those but I don't think it would be fair to expect Taggart to pull it all by himself, since I doubt he has the strength for that at only 25lbs... Though I'm sure he would do his best to try. He really loves running
I take him on bike rides a lot but with a bike he doesn't have to do all the work himself.

When I had a full dog team, I used to hook them to an ATV in the summer for training. I have a Sacco cart for training one or two dogs at a time. My dogs never really liked it and I find it a bit scarey to be sitting down while they pull. I never liked riding in the dogsled either! This scooter looks better than the Sacco although don't think it would do well on our crazy rough trails around here!

We're basically retired from mushing now. I mostly skijor in the winter. Never hooked up a team this winter. I use my bike to run the younger ones now in the summer and Tehya and I are trying canicross(she's gonna kill me yet!)
