I've tried the bike before and come off when the bull x went after a squirrel, do you think the wheaton is ok to jog 3 miles 3 times a week?

take mine jogging we did a few 3 milers over the weekend. Seen one local runner take a jr even that little legged fella handles it fine.

Just build up slow. Mines not a fan I sense I think he just finds it monotonous though and lags behind

Yes I know what you mean my wheaton bitch looks like butter wouldn't melt then she'll nail something!!! The weirdest dog I've ever had,

A mate of my had a big pitbull/staffy and thought it would be a good idea to run him next to his bike. He tied the lead to the handle bars instead of holding the lead was okay for a mile or so but as soon as the dog seen a cat or it turned flip the lad off his bike and drag the bike down the road a good few hundred yards with the lad running screaming behind it was a very amusing afternoon atb guys

Nothing weird about that at, that's what wheatens are like and you should have known that before taking on such a breed.

I trot my bull x cross and terriers next to my bike 3 x a week and to be honest terriers run better than the bull x lol

Neil it was the bull x and the squirrel, the wheaton is just wired in different ways alright one minute nervous the next

Ive found mine lags a bit when hes by himself behind the van but if ive got my curs out with him hes right up behind the whole way he must like it more when hes with his mates. Edited July 28, 2015 by Blackdog92

I jog with mine every morning but only 3 mile then later have a mooch about with them off lead for a good few hours. Day time stuff is weather depending if to warm get later evening behind the quad. All this only preps them. First few weeks of season is were the real fitness is put in working

im doing the same how long on the mill are you giving them? I give my dog 2.5-3 miles and a hour walk in the morning and a walk at night do you think the 2.5 - 3 miles on the mill is enough or should I give him abit more?
