5 Reasons to Ride with Your Dog on the LEFT

[@JenniferWasylenko]

Do you bike with your dog? How long is your average ride? Ours is usually 20-40min depending on the temperature and how much time we have.

Getting a Doberman puppy soon so I’m preparing really early by watching videos like this one so by the time he’s leash trained I can introduce bike rides into our routine. Really enjoy your videos 👌🏽

Thanks Tamara! You're going to have so much fun together! Be sure to wait until he's at least 10-12months old before you make him run much. His bones need to fully develop (harden) first. Like baby bones, they're soft when they're puppies :) I'm so excited for you!

I have a question, have you ever encountered streets and roads that are too narrow to navigate without being in the way of cars and ppl? what did you do to counter that? I have a 6-month-old border collie that I keep at my RIGHT side when biking cuz the roads in my country aren't as wide and cars might just run over her(bikes aren't respected as much here either), there's a lot of strays here and they're all pretty reactive and take over most streets too : - p

[@JenniferWasylenko]

Hi! Yes, we do have some situations like that here but I avoid those areas. Sound like you are doing the right thing with keeping your dog on the right in your situation. Careful with a 6month old and all the running though. Their bones haven't fully developed until they are a year old. Do your best to avoid the busiest situations (with dogs and cars). Do you have a grassy park nearby you can bike on instead?

Is it possible to get Lewi’s tag to immobilise, please? The sound of it disrupts your voice.

Hi! I messaged you a few weeks back. I introduced my Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy (about 4 months old) to my bike last week. She's too young to ride with me, I just wanted her to see the bike so I just walked the bike next to her while we walked. She kept trying to bite the spokes on the wheels but she also tries to bite everything at this point. Any thoughts/advice? I really enjoy your videos.

[@JenniferWasylenko]

Hello! yes, I remember you! Yes, she is very interested in putting everything in her mouth at that age! Try going for walks with you standing between your dog and your bike. Make that just part of how you go for your walks. Reinforce good walking behavior (no biting the bike) with treats and keep her walking forwards. After several outings she should become used to the bike and it won't be a big deal. Do this regularly so it's not 'new' every time. Try this and keep me posted! 😊
