Cyclo-dogging requires a bike, a rider and a dog or two. Here are Barry and Buddy. Buddy's tail never stops wagging when he's happy and he's very happy here. Almost blind, walking or better still cyclo-dogging on an extending lead gives him confidence - he doesn't have to worry about where he's going, though he does sometimes trip over unexpected (unseen) obstacles. Cyclo-dogging gives him more rigorous exercise than walking (though fewer chances to stop and sniff) something he has missed since Barry had to stop running.I tried cyclo-dogging the other day - Buddy stopped and I didn't - oops! More bruises and a reminder that I need to hone some skills!
To appreciate the sheer beauty and athleticism of a Dalmatian, horse-riding or cycling is imperative. The dogs don't change their cadence, just lengthen their stride, and they are magnificent.
