Running Wild
November 29th, 2008
After rescuing a husky mix, I soon found that little people should not attempt to walk very strong dogs without some sort of protection.
If you have a bigger dog and you have some trouble walking them, here are a few suggestions:
- Let ‘em run! Look around your neighborhood for a fenced in park that allows dogs to run around freely off the leash! It’s a great way for your pup to get some exercise and socialize with some other dogs. Just watch where you step!
- Play Santa! If you have a bike or a scooter of some sort, tie your dog to the front and let them pull full speed! Just make sure you have control over brakes and steering. Use a longer leash for this activity and keep it taunt while riding so you don’t have any accidents!
- Go to the gym! Ok, so maybe not a public gym, but if you happen to have a treadmill in your house teach your dog to have a run on there! You may have to start on a lower speed to get them started.
Whatever your plan is, keep it safe and keep it fun for the both of you!!!

A doctor in our town had a midlife crisis and bought a Great Dane and a Porsche. They find a quiet country road and the dog runs on a leash beside the car.
I’ve been wondering where you have been! We do the fenced in dog park thing so the dogs can get out and stretch their legs and have a good run.
I love biking with my dog. I think it’s a bad idea to let a dog run out in front though. There’s no reason why the dog needs to be in front. That’s an accident waiting to happen! Ace is always in heel position even when I’m biking. I just adjust my speed so he gets a good workout.
