Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Question on running Koda Empty
PostSubject: Question on running Koda   Question on running Koda EmptyWed Feb 01, 2012 10:55 pm

Okay so I don't know if its just me or not, but I lives in a small town and outside of town we have a gravel road with a bunch of lakes around. What I do is use a retractable leash and let Koda run beside the car. So far he does not seem to mind it, he will actually run faster when I am cheering him on. My question is since I work 60+ hours a week is it okay to run him like this or not, he runs right beside or in front on the car. Hopefully I don't get hated on too much

Ive done that with horses, but never a dog. I would be concerned about him running on the rocks AMD the pavement though. Think of how your feet would feel barefoot an rocks? Not to mention if a freak accident happened and you ran him over. If you have the time to run him beside the car, you have time to run with him yourself imo.

I'd keep him beside, but preferably behind the car. I wouldn't let him get in front of the car. Other than that, I have no problem with it. As long as he's not hurting his feet, and is enjoying himself, why not? This is often called "road-work" and is quite common.

Aaron, why don't you run with Koda?
It would be better for both of you.
If you are working that much, you'll feel better with exercise.
(Unless you are unloading 50 lb. sacks of cement all day.)

If you physically can't run, how about a springer or walky dog?
I think that daily exercise creates an incredible bond between us and our dogs.
If it's too hot for the dog, you know it because it's too hot for you.
If you need water, so does the dog.
If the wind is blowing ice pellets so hard you can't see, the dog can't see either.

Huskies are way stronger and more stoic than we are.
They will go, go, go until they hurt themselves.
If you are out there with Koda, you'll know it when he's in trouble.
