Haha well pretending is better than the flat denial I usually get lol.

I'm proud of Bri, she did't try to chase the squirrels or cats and we ran into one dog with no problems from her. She did pretty well for being somewhat DA, barked and whined some but didn't try to drag me over to the other dog. Granted it was a good distance away and the owner of the dog was already going inside.

By the end of summer, I hope to have Boo trained to run beside my bike. What kind of distance do you do? and is your dog teathered to you bike? We have a fantastic bike path in Cincinnati, about 80 miles long! I usually do it in 20-30 mile chunks a couple of times a month. Several of the section are not very busy, especially in the evenings (I have lights on my bike like a dork).

I biked for about three miles around our neighborhood with her jogging not running, running will come later. We took a five min break twice not counting twice stopping for the neighborhood kids. Got home had a drink of water and I instantly got the 'okay now can we do it again?' look lol. I tethered her to the space below the handlebars and above the front wheels but she also did really well on not tangling up the leash. Four foot lead and i attached it to her choker not her collar though next time I know I can use collar instead.

How super obedience trained is your dog? we are still a work in progress. I just am having flashbacks to my childhood, when I thought it was a brilliant idea to harness my Irish setter to the bars of my bike. It was spectacular fun getting drug around at super insane high rates of speed until a rabbit crossed our path and went through a barbed wire fence.

Having Boo trained for this would be great. She would get much needed exercize and I would have protection when I bike alone.

I am a dog trainer working on behaviorist so Bri is trained in basic and knows some advanced commands. She listens to hand signals as well as verbal. So I guess better trained than most household pets but not as trained as say a police dog? She only needs work on staying in place regardless of distractions and she is getting so much better at that. For the biking I told her to 'heel' or 'follow me' at different times.

That's great! Just ran the dog along side the bike for the first time a few days ago too. She loved it. I used a four foot lead and held it in my hand. She stayed right along side the bike. We were in the woods on a paved walking path.

Took Bri biking today for the first time, she did great aside from almost getting run over once and learning to stay far away from the front wheels in the process.

Halfway through our little run some kids started calling out ''oh look at that poor pit bull'' so I stopped to explain that running with the bike didn't bother her one bit she actually loved it. They seemed to get it after a second that it didn't hurt her so one of them asks me if Bri was a 'red nosed pit'. Oh boy.. Explained that 'red nose' wasn't a breed just a color, yes she is a APBT but she isn't a red nose. Brina was just enjoying the petting and loving from the kids people avoid her so much she loves it when people pay attention to her.

If only adults listened like children do the breed wouldn't be in any danger.

Kids only pretend to listen! lol

That's good she did well biking... I wish I could still bike, but only because the dogs would love it lol.

That's my problem, too.. my stupid knees
