RE: Taking a dog on training rides

[Jerry & Susan Milam <milamj@agtelco.com>]

I've always had good luck using those shock collars to keep the dog close to
me on rides. He had a tendency to chase trucks and cars when we were out on
trails where a road was visible. Once I trained him to the shock collar and
if he didn't come to me when I called him, zap! It works great. I have an
aussie.

Subject: RC: Taking a dog on training rides


I was just wondering if anyone brings a dog along with
them on their training rides? The reason I am asking
is because I do have to go on a few roads to get to
some of the trails and although the roads are
relatively quiet, I don't feel comfortable leaving my
dog loose. So what I was thinking of holding the dog
on a retractable leash with enough room to avoid being
trampled, but not long enough to get me in a tangle.
Think this is crazy or doable? Ponying a horse works,
but I am wondering if this would work with a dog since
they are much lower down.
E-mail me privately if this is not related enough to
endurance.
Thanks,
Lysane
