Lucky Luke. Posted November 21, 2011 Share My dog loves singletrack, she's a bit small to keep up on the downhill but she kicks my ass going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAgar Posted November 21, 2011 Share Lovely footage. Question: I am Gauteng based and have an english pointer that enjoys a good run on the singletrack. I took him out to Teak Place once or twice for 8-10km which he loved. Dogs understandably are not often welcomed at MTB venues. Are you aware of any venues within close range of JHB that would allow dogs (under control) to accompany riders..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojopup Posted November 21, 2011 Share That is so cool!! My little guy loves running next to my bicycle at the dog park. Would love to get him one of those rear wheel leads but where to ride with him? Have previously attached my action cam to him. Seems to make him do weird and naughty stuff tho like marking humans as his territory and beating up other dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAgar Posted November 21, 2011 Share i also have an english pointer . i take him and my german pointer around Delta Park and Frattellis etc they love it. Thanks Zuludog. Delta Park does seem to make the most sense, I have considered it but not ridden there yet. I will give it a try. In fact like you we also have a young German Short haired Pointer too who's almost ready for this type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheEpicOne Posted June 7, 2012 Share Hey all you Hubbers! Hope you are all having a awesome week so far!!! I was just wondering how many of the people on the hub take their dogs with them while riding those single tracks? or even do bikejoring? Imagine what cool footage you can get if the gopro is on your dogs back taking the video!!!! Would like to hear your thoughts!!! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogo@ Posted June 7, 2012 Share Love riding with my dog but she's too fast uphill and I'm too fast downhill!! We travel around town nicely though. Wore my front brake out teaching her. Don't do it as much as I used to because we have a four-pack now... Bikejoring...there's a thought. I looked at skijoring harnesses once. Mmmm.

DJR Posted June 7, 2012 Share My lab used to run with me around the Rhodes Memorial Blockhouse ride but she is too old for that now. I even got her a pair (2 pairs actually) of booties after she ran her pads raw. Uphill she waited for me, downhill I waited for her. They learn quickly not to run in front of you and you learn quickly to anticipate when they are going to do that. It helps to have a dog that is trained to heel and to come when called. I would hesitate to do it with a dog that I cannot control when coming across other riders or hikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
