    E - it will get easier with practice.

    Also, when I was teaching Robin, I made sure to say "Watch Me" if I was going to make a decently hard left or right turn.

    Good luck!

    I am impressed that you have a collie that will not try to herd the bike. Mine want to be back at the rear wheel - I gave up and started rollerblading with the two that would run with me. The old girl in my avatar was a total bust at anything that required her to run - she would sit down, or lie down and kick, or slip her collar- she is my favorite old stubborn collie. She is now 11 and we just take slow walks.

    Elk, one more tip for staying in a straight line. Absolutely look far ahead, but also focus on keeping your chin up. This is a point of balance for your inner that will help your whole body stay balanced. You'll be surprised how much it helps during all your practicing! And, you'll be surprised when you find yourself just doing all the things we just suggested without even thinking about it!

    Have a wonderful time with your doggie!

    Hugs and butterflies,
