- Amanda & Kai have been running/riding together for 3 years. In this video, Amanda shares her tips and how she trained Kai to become a MTB trail dog!
Here’s the Ruffwear dog equipment we use:
Dog Harness: amzn.to/2V2qeq1
Elasticated Dog Lead: amzn.to/2XeDghH
Portable Dog Bowl: amzn.to/2InzO0Y
Rubber Dog Toy with Rope: amzn.to/2v9xvG2
My Spaniel is mtb biggest fan ! She has learned all her discipline from fun ! I’m gonna put her strava she’s definitely capable of KOMS
I always run outside busy times! But those who see us are entertained! She’s normally covered in mud and barking like a right hooligan!!
A dog on Strava lol! That's so cool :) Trail dogs are the best :)
Kai is just the cutest thing😍
Cute but hard to clean after a wet ride haha
WOLFPACK ADVENTURES well, a quick bath and he’s good as new. That’s how swiss shepherd dogs are. :)

watch their latest video... ha had to be put to sleep :(
Phil Rossetti what? O_O
WHAT A GORGEOUS RIDING AREA.. I am so jealous
Beautiful animal. We just got a Samoyed I want to train for MTB
Kai is a looker :) he's the star of the UA-cam channel lol! Let us know if you need any more help with training your Samoyed :)
Loved your video. Seen a few others but like yours best as besides showing a good time riding and with your dog, you talk about the responsibilities without getting preachy.
Many more happy rides for you both!!
Appreciate the kind feedback and we're glad you're enjoying the videos ::)
Fantastic tips on training, what a awesome dog and thanks for sharing.
Great vid & some good tips, cheers. Hoping to get my dog soon & then start trail training over the next year or so
Awesome, good luck! 🐶
Lovely partnership. Any dog will follow the pack leader ....We’ve bin doing this for 20 years or more on the quantock hills. Welsh border Collies are the best for the job here. All the best , from Somerset,England .
I know the pain of having a white traildog 🤣😍 lol. Great vid, keep it up. All the best.
Hah! Nobody knows the pain until they've had a white trail dog - he's a good lad
I got Sage That Same Harness in Green as his First harness lol..
This is a good Video got to let people Know that yes it is Fun But More so a Huge Responsibility if you want to keep your Best Friend Safe on the Trail.. I Have a Rescue Husky Named Sage I am Training Him but as you Might already Know Huskies can Be a little More tricky than most other Breeds. so for the Most Part I take Him Joring. and when we are not on single Track I have a Hands Free Leash that Go's around my waste so he Can Run beside me on dirt roads on the way to the Trail head I can always Grab the Leash with my Hand to bring him in closed.. Iv been working on his Re call sit and stay and In some safe, situations I can Let Him off Leash..
Agreed!
Brilliant video, very helpful. I'm just going about training my lab to be a trail dog..... thanks 👍
Great stuff! And Great trails as well!
Thanks! Appreciate the message, I think the trails in this video were around the Lake District, U.K
Nice doggy good partner for trail Love it
Trail dogs are the best - we miss Kai :(
So cool! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it 😍
White trail dog😳
U must have the patience and commitment of a monk. That’s great to see, good work.
HA! He sure gets muddy when he's out on the trails with us. Kai has an awesome personality as a GSD :)
Very nicely done, amazing dog, amazing trails, and you are amazing too :)
Amazing comment 😍
Once again a great vid
Appreciate the positive feedback!
Good stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Amanda!
Thank you x
Great video, we collect our puppy next week and I hope she makes a great trail hound! I’ll be checking out all your links.
Perfect! I wanna take Champ, my Razor Edge Gator mouth Pit….
Nice video 👌 great dog
He's such a lad 😍
Very cool video, even if it's 4 years old :-) My puppy is now 6 months old and I can't wait to train her to become a traildog! I think I'll start soonish with a walking pace max because of her bones...
I wonder what commands you teached Kay specifically for "Traildogging"? Are there any? My plan is to teach her left, right, front, back but I'm not sure if that's even needed.
Cheers!
02:13 power of love 👍🏼👍🏼
lol!
OMG!KAI is SOSOSOSOSOSO CUTE!!!
Lololol he is! He's also extremely needy right now 😂
Do you recommend keeping your dog behind or in front of you if it's just yourself? I see pros and cons of both. In back, safer for them...but then you lose sight of what they're doing.
Great video nice work with your dog most be nice ! 🚲🐕🦺😀
It was nice when he was here :)
Uau obrigada você me ajudou muito!!💜😍
❤️
Cute dog
He' s the star of this UA-cam channel - that's for sure!
Nice
Glad you enjoyed it :)
RIP Kai 😢❤️
Hey does anyone know where this was filmed??
The park was in Carlisle, the trails were Whinlatter in the Lake District :)
Holy cow! The area looks exactly like where I ride my bike, just that our trees are dying. I'm gonna start training my doggy to become a trail dog pretty soon too. Do you prefer him to ride in front of you? As I do Endure/Downhill riding, I think it could be somewhat dangerous to have her riding in front. I cannot stop as quick as she can.
Beautiful dog, I to have German shepherds would love for them to come on trails with me! How is his bones and hips? Aren’t there any issues??
Gsds are unreal! Kai doesn't come out on the trails with us as much now purlwly because of age. The ay after a big ride /run, hed be limping, so we cooled off on things. He comes out on shorter, more mellower rides, but it's the steeper tracks that he tries to run down are something we avoid now, purely because of the pressure on his hips and joints
WOLFPACK ADVENTURES awwh it’s a shame, absolutely amazing dogs!
Hi, my poor dogs paws are raw after a ride today. I don’t suppose you can recommend any boots for him that wont rub or fall off?
Honestly, we haven't come a cross a decent set of boots that actually stay in when out with Kai on the trail.
If your dog's paws are raw, maybe he's done too much? Just a thought
Hey.. if your pups paws are raw from the ride, you gotta backtrack and maybe hit trails with more forgiving terrain...
Consistent walks should build up his paw pad toughness
What dog should I get ?
White german shepherd
... Obviously lol! I'm biased 🤣
How old was Kai when you started MTB training? my dog is 9months and still practicing her recall and running trail etiquette, so I'm thinking we may be a little bit early
3-4 years old *I think* but that was only because I met Amanda (and Kai) when he was this age. I never knew Kai as a puppy. He took to riding really fast!
How old is Kai? We have white German Shepard named Kai and they both look identical!
Kai is now 7 years old 😊
How do you get on with his pads? I can only ride for about 30 mins with my GSD on the same surface before his pads get all torn up.
Also, did you find he wanted to attack you /the bike at the start of a ride? 😂 & how did you overcome this if you had similar?
Hey Brad, we do take good care of Kai - we used to use boots for him when the trails were crazy dry. Now, we don't take him out as much due to the heat and dry trails.
Kai has never tried to attack us or the bikes lol!
He literally runs behind us and if somebody comes up behind HIM, he'll move to one side and let the rider past.
His trail etiquette is quite something lol!
@@wolfpack_adventures you're very lucky, my dog loves to bite my chins in excitement & run off as fast as he can 😂 (he doesn't hurt but must look terrifying to strangers 😂)
I have a set of ruff wear boots for him but 1. They rub his dew claw, not sure why they would have ended the boot at such an awkward place & 2. You get some very funny looks 😂
It's such a shame because he loves to come along (even if he does attack me)
Try to start slower, walk with him next to the bike while your still not one it, then your on the bike but just walking and slowly work up to actually riding the bike
@@DeAlexon12 good advice I'll give that a try cheers
How long can you ride with Kai at what speed?
Around 2 hours max at the minute. After that, he starts to get tired and we've got to respect that
why not try attaching his leash to your bike with an antenna?
enduro pup!
Exactly that lol!
Kai big and beautiful,very nice ,👍🐶😃💪
He's a MASSIVE, white, softy haha
Do you ride with him tied on a leash? If yes, does he like it? :)
Lovewars😂❤
Make sure to inquire about the local hunting and wildlife protection regulations! it would be a shame if your dog were shot by the hunter
Unfortunately he’s not with us anymore, not due to shooting
We don't have 'hunters' in the UK! We aren't all gun mad like you yanks, we don't even arm our police as a matter of course, they're not even allowed a truncheon these days.... hunters, I ask you!
😪sad for you guys.
2:14. Kai want to play fetch with your banana's peel 😃
Kai is really toy-motivated as against food-orientated. He just loves having a good time!
Nice
Glad you enjoyed the video :)
