Hey guys i noticed there wasn't a thread for people with trail dogs and trail dogs are awesome so umm.... HERE IT IS!!! Please stay respectful and keep the inappropriate stuff to a minimum please! ALL DOGS WELCOME!!! Please feel free to your dog, I'd perfer big dogs tbh but as long as its not like a chuahua the its all good!
My dog loves the trails we do a 32miles once a fortnight. In the week we do easy route 10miles in the evening. Marley is a 18months old Beagle Harrier, i will find a pic out show you him running on the trails he's great company for me.

Sweet just don't over do it first build them up slowly Marley learnt from 9months he was on the lead for while learnt to trot along he's only had his nose once near the front tire lol!!!
We started off just going for ride round the field went further and further slowly, just don't push them. Nowadays hes happy with 32 miles but i wouldn't try anymore unless its over a long period but we do have 40mins rest halfway so he can stretch and just relax little. He usually has little nap then where off again.
My Dog. She loves to go biking. She can still go swimming in a pond that is on a bike loop after 12 miles of biking before hand. She is a rescue dog, last owner kept her on a chain, and beat her all the time. I'd say she has a much better life now!
Getting my little GSP puppy in a month, will be a while until she hits the trails, but can't wait to start training her! Awesome thread Idea! ! training tips welcomed!!
These threads are always fun. For ideas, check this one out! Not to derail this thread but I flat out LOVE me some dogs. My dog is in there somewhere, I will try to find them to post here & will spread the word on this one as well.http://forums.mtbr.com/passion/trail-dog-passion-674225.html

absolutely the best trail dog story I've ever gotten the pleasure of reading! That's awesome what a beautiful dog can't beleive people have it with them to beat such beautiful creatures, or beat anything at all really, gotta love seeing rescue dogs so happy turns a bad day to the great day when you see such joy and loyalty from a pet!
Have a Golden Retriever! A relationship split has him with his mommy. I see him when I want/need! I will search out pics to post. Hes 5 1/2 & it kills me to be away from him.
