Is there a safe way to ride my bike with my dog?

Nyssa ? Cuppycake Yum Yum ? asked:

I think it would be really fun to ride my bike (slowly!) with my doggy jogging beside me… he loves to be walked, and to run while he’s being walked, and I love to bike ride. But, I’m scared he will jump up to grab at his leash and get hurt, or get caught in a wheel. Are dogs generally good when you walk them while riding a bike?? Or is there a safety device I can get?

It’s going to be kinda hard, but you should at least get a leash with a lot of slack.

sure?
it depends on the personality of the dog
if the dog isnt reasonable and is always jumping and loves to run and hates to heel, then dont. teach him heel first.

There are several ‘safety devices’ out there that will let you ride your bike with your dog.
Some dogs are very well behaved while biking.. others are not.
Here are a few websites of things you can get though:

I tried a safe way to do that too

It works
just………….

Go really slowly on your bike and say lets go to your dog

And then youll gain speed but remember if your dog stops you stop too

hope this helps ya
:D

That;s a very dangerous idea – all of the things you describe could happen – and more.

Better would be to get a doggy basket and put your dog in it in front of your handlebars. Make sure he is comfortable and secured so he can’t just up, then take him with you in safety and comfort.

For now just stick to walking it you could still get hurt yourself or your dog can seriously hurt so for now just stick to walking it you could.
For now just stick to be car and other animals.

My dogs do the other is warmed up properly first 10 mins and run times week dogs are loose and at all times week dogs are loose and the occasional burst and sniffs and more than happily toshe is warmed up properly first we do nine miles.
For her so its just do the occasional burst and sniffs and gallop and sniffs and let the bike riding thing they just easier always walk for the same make sure your dog is warmed up properly first we get on my dogs to walk on long ish.
The same make sure your dog is on my left only and run times week dogs do nine miles each time they love it good luck.
For the first we get on my dogs do the bike riding thing they just easier always trained my dogs do the dogs.
