[Closed] Riding with your dog?

Hello Katie, welcome to the forum.

Given who you work for, I'd suggest that disclosure of exactly what this "piece" is and what it's for is required here.

Also, be aware that [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing ]Astroturfing[/url] is strictly against the forum T&Cs.

Riding with your dog would require a particularly niche adaptation to ones tandem, I think...

Have a look through some of the dog and puppy threads, there are loads.

Lot's of people offering advice on training, posting photos of their dogs out and about.

This will not end well...

I'm out with Oodles the poodle every weekend...

Thanks for all the replies everyone!

I'm not *quite* sure on what I have done wrong though...! I wasn't aware of what astroturfing was until just now having read what Cougar posted, I assure you that no unusual motives are behind my question!

I am just writing about dogs for my blog and I thought it would be an interesting take to look into people who take their dogs out for things like mountain biking or weekends away cycling for fun.

I see a lot of people cycling down the Thames path with their dogs so it got me wondering if people go in for more kind of extreme forms of biking with their pets. So I thought asking on a cycling forum could be a good place to start.

Apologies if I have caused controversy or offence by asking the question, absolutely unintentional I assure you!

Hope that explains a bit better.

Hi Katie,

A Google search for Trail Dogs will throw up a load of great results.

Also, who do you work for? We are on tenter hooks here 😉

You mean you're NOT Katie Hopkins...?

Who's the "x" for?

Oh! Great Idea.

Trail dogs looks brilliant, thanks for the tip funkmasterp!

I work for a small dog food company called Butternut Box 🙂 We make fresh, handmade food for dogs.

I am just researching subjects to write about on the blog and thought this could be a fun idea. Apologies again for any unintended upset caused to forum members.

Who's the "x" for?

You Dez, you've been marked!

Who's the "x" for

You must know who Katie x is surely?

Also my dog doesn't like butter or nuts. Massive fan of boxes though.

Malcolms sister?

Just be grateful you are not called Louise

Free samples and I'll tell you all about ma dawg 🙂

I have two 'trail dogs' in both the running and cycling sense.

In case you're interested, they eat Millie's Wolfheart on a daily basis.

Great food, looks similar to yours but we have no reason to change...

I'm not *quite* sure on what I have done wrong though...!

Thank you for the clarification.

You've not done anything wrong, my comment was a preemptive strike to ensure it stayed that way. (-: It's very, very common for folk to start this sort of thread as a first post when in truth it's a veiled marketing ploy. Such accounts tend to be short-lived as the site offers paid advertising / featured posts and self-promoting threads derail that (and greatly upsets STW's paying advertisers).

Apologies again for any unintended upset caused to forum members.

I very much doubt that anyone was "upset." We're (demonstrably) far better at biting sarcasm TBH.

I have a dog and a bike. I ride my bike and the dog runs around. You can write about us if you so wish. It will be as amazeballs.

yep. trail dog here.

Dogs and bikes.
The dog ruins the bike ride and the bike ruins the dog walk.

Cos you do know that artisan actually means Ex Tremely Ex Pensive?

Trail dogs? Is that what they're called when they scoot across the carpet?

I once came up behind some riders with a a "trail dog" I overtook them and the stupid dog ran infront of me for about 5 miles down the trail before the stupid **** realised I wasn't it's owner and it was completely and utterly lost, it's owners completely dropped and stuck in the middle of Dartmoor.

Somebody should invent some sort of tether that the can attach to their animal maybe that clips around it neck so they can keep it under control?

you say?[/url]

Hi Katie,

I cycle regularly with my dog, Klaus the GSP, my email is in my profile if you want to ask any questions!

Dog rider here also, they're the most reliable company you can keep. Every day, twice a day, constant biking companions, two of them.

Yay! Hope the trailhound says Hi Klaus!

And of course, the owners [i]always[/i] stop and clean up after their animals, don't they?

Of course! When there are trees to dangle it from, why would we leave it on the ground?

I take my dog out on the bike, and yes I clear up afterwards. Poop bags fit quite well into the bottle cage actually...

I ride bikes regularly, I have a Springer Spaniel which I walk regularly.

Mixing the 2 pastimes together (I did it once) will result in carnage for all concerned.

Are you familiar with Springer Spaniels?

I take our springer and cocker up Munros (and other hills locally) with the bike. The cocker likes to pull, but he's quite focussed when I'm on the bike and tends not to be distracted by what's around. He also doesn't like to be left behind so if, while off lead, he wanders off, I just call him and ride away.

Mostly clear up after the dog unless he's disappeared into the bushes. Now I do one it stays there, mostly as it's the consistency of a runny cowpat (gluten issues and IBS) and it's alien acid on the way out! I'm surprised the South Downs isn't dotted with volcanoes as it's burnt it's way through the crust to the earths core!

And of course, the owners always stop and clean up after their animals, don't they?

I didn't when I use to take my old dogs out with the bikes, Dropping plastic bags into the waste management is far more harmful then leaving a poop on the ground. Around the streets I clean up yes.
