Biking

[imported_nea]

Is biking with Web (9 month old flattie) a really bad idea? I got a new bike for my birthday and had a springer attached to it then because it was cheaper, and easier to just get it done. I've tried going out with Web attached to it a few times, mainly to teach him about it. He learned the first time and is great. I haven't gone far, or much faster than a normal walk pace the few times we've done it. But could it be harmful to keep occasionally (like once every 10 days or so) biking with him?

As long as you keep the rides fairly short and in line with his usual excerise length and intensity I think it would be fine. I bet he loves it :-)

as long as you don't overdo it, there isn't a problem.

however, i would do short sessions frequently rather than letting a lot of time pass inbetween. and don't trust your dog as far as showing you when he's had enough and is getting tired because chances are he'll just want to keep going and going. :)
