I wondered how the doggy bike trailer thing was going. I am in a similar situation. Chester and Gretel don’t need to lose any either….REALLY unlike me. I liked your modification on K9 Kamp and gave myself permission to count pulling the dogs in our bike trailer. They are totally fine getting into the cart but I still have a long way to go with getting them to stop constantly barking. My “fitness plans” were sabotaged too because I have only been able to pull them a few blocks so far 🙁

LOL! Thanks for the giggles Pamela. When all else fails, humor does wonders during fitness training. 🙂

I think all cameras should come with an embarrassment filter for the lens!
I drag my bipeds out for a walk on days they might otherwise not have bothered. I need to keep them fit enough for long hikes!

Whomp whomp. Well that must have been a terribly disappointing moment for you. I’m sad that honey wasn’t very excited to get back in the cart (I think we all cheered when she mastered it last year!) but I think your modifications are a perfect example of K9 Kamp SUCCESS and not a failure at all.

I had thought about getting one of those carts for Gizmo but realized he wouldn’t enjoy riding instead of running…so my bike is more of a clothes rack these days …Good for you for not giving up…Using the opportunity to proof Honey’s “stay” is a great plan and one I’ll have to try (without the camera 🙂 )

Mom has changed her fitness routine because of her injuries (which does not stop her working it out, it actually helps out (will be sharing it soon in a post). Modification is important and I try to adjust even though I am a very active senior dog. In our latest FitDog post that’s a modification mom has done to accommodate my needs.
Honey is great riding the bike with you. I don’t I can do that as I rather run. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

First of all do tell me where you got that super cool lens cap! I need one of those 🙂 I will admit that the sight of you jumping around and hiding in the brush while Honey sits perfectly calm is rather amusing too me. Isn’t it funny what we will do in the presence of our dogs?

In reply to Pamela.

Years ago when the city was less crowded and I was younger, I rode all over. Now there are too many cars and frankly the taxis and car service guys aim for you and hope to scare you. I was also hit by a taxi when I was on my bike.
Until I move close to the park, I’ll walk, bus it, or subway it all over.

Citibikes make it worse because the riders don’t know how to ride in the city, they don’t always follow the lights, or the one-way streets. A man was hit by a car on the first day it was effective.

In reply to All things collie.

And you’d need a cart for each collie. 🙂

Some dogs take to it easily. I got it after seeing a guy who rode across the country with his dog riding in the cart.

By the end of last summer, Honey was pretty comfortable in it. And she hasn’t lost all her comfort with it. I just need to build up her comfort level again.

Don’t worry. You’ll see us riding together someday.

In reply to Peggy Frezon. I did splurge on a pretty nice cart, Peggy. It even has a custom fitted cushion. All I need is wifi and it would be more comfortable than most airplane seats. :)
