Irulan sez "That is very cute. Me thinks it would be dangerous unless it's a really short system...???"

wonder if one could put the dog in front? It looks waaaay cute.

"I've seen dogs improperly tethered in to pickup trucks where there was just enough slack for the dog to go over and out and then choke to death. ( sorry to be graphic but it really happened)"

between the tether debacle and debris in the eye of the dog my vote is dogs belong inside the truck in the back seat (most trucks these days seat 4). People say dogs like trucks and riding outside and they *do* look happy but your dog doesn't know better, doesn't know what can happen. Your dog doesn't know Newtons law (body in motion stays in motion) but we do. Also dogs want to be with YOU more than they want to be in the bed of the truck.

I need to train Mae to accept a car harness, clips into the seat belt. She wiggles out now but I could train her to accept it or ..... Sadiekate?

"As for dog and biking... it's a big discussion in certain forums. There are lead systems, dogs trained to heel perferctly on or off a leash, dogs run amok....I've seen perfectly trained trail dogs with a rock solid heel and recall, and dogs that were such a pain that I'll never go out with certain people ever again.. which is ultimately the owner's fault not the dogs."

I know Mae would be in the "run amok" category but the Burley sounds like a nice idea. She's not one to run alongside on a ride.

Off to a leisurely walk with Mae....
