What works better for a dog: bicycling or inline skating?

I am a walker - recently bought a year old doberman. She'll enjoy the walk but really enjoys it when we jog. I'm a big guy and my wind sucks so the jogging doesn't last too long. All things considered (safety (for both human and dog), the workout itself, etc) which do you prefer between bicycling %26amp; inline skating and why?

i would consider cycling because its safer if you use the right ecuiptment. there is a lead you can get that attached the dogs collar to the bike i will try find it but in the mean time read the link i have attached at the bottom!


bu please please never just attach the lead to the bike without proper training you will be putting urself and ur dog in great danger!

Reply:i prefer biking with my dog. i have taught him some basic commands, such as speed up, slow down, stop, and i have taught him to focus on the road instead of the other things going on around him. its fun for him and it gives him great exercise. the training takes a little time and it can be a little dangerous at first. i reccomend training while walking your bike to get the dog used to it. and i also reccomend using a harnass on your dog. but yeah it is a very fun activity to do and i enjoy. i cant wait to get back to biking
Reply:Although skating will label you a pansy, it's really fun. But you have to train words like "go", "Yield", and "stop". I saw someone with two dogs and he was going about 20 mph, unbelievable.





Bicycling is a pain. You have to buy some expensive equipment to install on your bike. And all the other bicyclist hate you for taking so much room.
Reply:cycling definitely because you can easily dismount the bike and be on solid footing. whereas with skates you cant lose the wheels.
