Keeping your Dogs, Healthy and Happy

Healthy dogs need exercise, and a walk simply isn't aerobic enough for most of them. Jogging can use up some of the excess energy often leading to destructive behavior in the house or yard.

But not everyone likes to jog. I walk my dogs, but it isn't adequate for Dax, my 3-year-old Australian Shepherd. If she doesn't get more exercise, Dax is hard to live with. She paces, brings me toys to throw and generally makes a pest of herself.

Products are available that allow you to attach a leash to the bicycle. This keeps the dog away from the wheels and helps prevent accidents caused by holding the dog's leash in your hand on the handlebars.
