Bikejoring With Dogs?

[chickentrains]

Hi!

Does anybody here bikejor, skatejor, sled, or etc?? What equipment do you use?

I've tried to make a thread on several dog forums but nobody does it! Its such a wonderful sport and I'd like to know how you do it.

would any Y-front harness that doesn't restrict shoulders be OK? or So I need a xback racing harness? how do you attach your dog to your bike? What bike do you use? a standard bike, or a mountain bike? How many dogs do you jor with?

I'll be working with a young golden, btw. I think I'll use one of my three y-front harnesses that belongs to my dog, a bungee 1ft leash connected to the dog, and a 6 foot leash with a pool noodle over my tires that connects to my bike.

I usually teach dogs to run next to the bike rather than pull it, but if you want them to pull, get a sturdy bike short enough you can put BOTH feet flat on the ground easily. Because I can tell you from experience, the brakes are not enough to stop it if Pup wants to keep running.
