Mobezilla Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 First we started out with the Walky Dog. Then one day when Abby and I went to a bike trail together, I realized I had forgotten the bar to my Walky Dog, and tried to let Link run in front of the bike. He did fabulous and responded to my commands very well, the only he had trouble with was walking by other dogs as he found it hard to ignore them. I was using a large PetCo harness (that was Yuki's, but I never use it on her now that I've got my WYDWL harnesses) but I want to get him a harness designated for pulling. I ended up getting a custom-made x-back harness, he loves it I also finally got a 2-dog line, and now that Yuki is about 16 months, I have finally felt comfortable enough to take her biking with us!! She loves it - and shes a natural! Her x-back harness is currently being made Video of Link on 6.21.13 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBTZpCaxoOc Video of Link on 6.22.13 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgQEIcgMZp0 Videos of Link with Abby and her girls on 6.23.13 Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qk8rZJLch0 Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSJ8Vfqz3Q4 Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXt45WONJLU Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kugch_i5XxM Part 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAmybw9NOQg Video of Link on 9.1.13 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF-Hfs1FDGM Video of Link on 9.19.13 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhKrYO0hktY Video of Link on 10.27.13 with Cruzlin's girls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5yURH2Q0wE Video of Link and Yuki on 11.10.13 YUKI JOINS US!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNWAoBU_H3w Video of Link and Yuki on 11.11.13 Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJSECjxKULI Video of Link and Yuki with Abby's girls on 11.20.13 Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQPyL3EwBZc Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ0hgJlfo5g Part 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MSJMi6Zigw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Cool video! Nikko loves biking and we have the springer attachment for him. Yukon also gets tired out quickly and Kodiak is lazy LOL. Nikko would bike all day if you let him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link doesn't have much stamina yet but we're building it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarn Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Nice job! I think an x-back harness would be perfect. I don't use one with Neb as he isn't a good puller, but I have light ones I've used with my GSDs for running and they're great - Link seems good about staying out front, I think it would work well. Alternatively, Ruffwear makes really nice stuff. They have packs that clip off of harnesses too, so if you ever want to wear out energy but having him carry a bit extra on a walk, or go camping with him...

Towards the one of the run he will slow down and trot next to the bike, hehe. I've seen Ruffwear's stuff but I think I'm stuck on these alpine harnesses xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Super vids. I'm impressed that he slows on request. Storm is great at HAW and GEE, and HIKE, but does not understand WHOOOA in the slightest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to have him too, he's a crazy typical red but I love him! Super vids. I'm impressed that he slows on request. Storm is great at HAW and GEE, and HIKE, but does not understand WHOOOA in the slightest! Thanks Steve, he caught on to the commands so quickly I'm pretty impressed myself xD I'm really lucky to have a great lead dog like him.

Mobezilla Posted September 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 X-back harness arrived, he was unsure at first and now he's getting into the groove. Sorry there's no sound.. but I didn't really give any commands in this video as it was just working on endurance and getting him to run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhKrYO0hktY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobezilla Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Went biking again today. Very proud of Link - Yuki tried to run off and chase a couple squirrels, he kept plodding along as usual. It helps that he's 15 pounds heavier than her https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo65ZYEPFuU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
