I fractured my foot a couple weeks ago and have been taking the dogs out on bike rides separately for the last week. Before anyone gets into a tizzy--I'm going SLOW. I'm only riding the bike because doctor's orders say I can't do any long walks and we don't have a yard, so walking is where they get most of their exercise. Anyway, the dogs usually don't do any more than a trot and Ace's ride is about 1/2 as long as Colby's.
Over the last week, I found that I actually enjoy taking the dogs out separately because not only are they a bit easier to handle (at times they get eachother worked up when we go out together and it's much more intimidating for people to meet the dogs when there are two of them) but it gives me some one-on-one training and bonding time and allows them some time apart. I think I'll probably continue taking them out separately after my foot heals...at least until winter rolls around and I lose those precious extra hours of sunlight that we have now.
Does anyone else take their dogs out separately?
