Friendly reminder, a dog can't sweat, therefore he needs to be able to put his tongue out to regulate body temperature. So carrying a stick is really suboptimal for him, even though he doesn't get that, for dog reasons. Also I really recommend training him to stay behind from the very beginning, doesn't matter if you are trailing on bike or on foot. As you mentioned, you are responsible, so you have to be aware of obstacles or dangerous situations before him (e.g. gnarly terrain, deer, other riders etc.). Things can get south really quick if you are not aware of you surroundings and he has to manage the situation on his on. Cheers.
I love that Ollie looks back to check on you. Ours just keeps going until we beep her back on her Garmin. hahaha.
He’s only looking back to tell us to hurry up 😂.
Is the garmin you use a gps tracker? If so how do you rate it? We’ve reviewed a few bits of dog tech now including trackers
@@OneTrackMindCyclingMagazine Yes! We love it! It’s a little bulkier than most and the antenna draws a lot of attention 😂 but it’s the most reliable one we’ve found. The GPS signal is pulled from satellite instead of cell towers so we always have her location no matter where we are. It has a separate remote with a digital screen that shows her location and tons of other specs but it can also communicate with her collar through a beep tone which we use to call her back most of the time. We couldn’t recommend it enough!
Thanks for sharing. Will have to check one out
Well done! I carry a collapsible plastic bowl for giving our dogs water. Less wasted water that way.
Our dogs initially ran out front like Ollie, but after a couple years they're now typically staying right behind us. (We're in Florida, so no big hills to speed down.)
We do usually take a dog specific water bottle but didn’t have it this time. Squirting water at him from a human drinking bottle isn’t ideal 😂
That dog loves to brake-check you ahahahah good stuff
Are black dogs the best trail dogs?
Working breed will just run all day.
I just got a pup that looks a lot like this dog. What kind is he/she and weight? Thanks for the vid
That look like a black Labrador retriever
what dog breed is this! it kills me that its not mentioned
Where are the 101 tips ... like how to get the dopg to the point they're off leash and don;t run off ? FAIL Change the damned title.
It doesn’t say 101 tips. 101 means introductory course. Have you ever been to any type of school?
Would teaching him left, right and straight on help direct him at forks when he's unsure which way?
Yes there are many techniques for this. Trail runners use Gee and Haw as the commands.
@@OneTrackMindCyclingMagazine Like some sled dogs? That's cool.
Could be that’s where it originated, I’m not sure
Awesome video - but throwing him the stick while running blocks his radiator making him tire faster! Love seeing him run!
What is a lead?
Es macht riesen Spaß mit den Hunden. Geht mir genauso. Top.
Danke! Wir lieben es, mit unseren Hunden auf den Trails zu reiten
I also recommend doing some training to give commands randomly to stop and sit off the trail. It’s good for when there are other bikers going the opposite direction. My dog otherwise will tend to get in their way. I started at home and then in the park. And eventually on the trail. Using treats he likes, saying “place” and pointing where I want him to sit. I’d love to find a way to give a command when he’s ahead of me to instantly move off the trail when other bikers are coming. To do that I’d need bike friends with loads of spare time to help me train.
That dog is going to get a very good good-night sleep
Interesting I have a Springer spaniel and he rather run at the back of the bike that what he chose and i feel that safter
My dog refuses to drink water out there. I think her attitude is "I'll drink water when I'm dead"
Are you able to provide some details of the GPS tracker
How Many miles do you think is the most a dog can take at a medium fast pace? I tried 8 miles with my border collie and it hurt her front paws, any recomendations? Should i bandage her paws for the next trip?
So we always start off small maybe one or two short trails just to get them used to it and build up over time as trail running can be really intense.
I would say 8miles is quite a long ride for a trail dog especially if they are used to it. Make sure you take plenty of brakes and do check their paws regularly.
There are some great Facebook groups where you can get more tips such as mtb trail dogs and trails dogs.
@@OneTrackMindCyclingMagazine thanks brother!
Cuts to the pads are pretty common. Have to let them heal.
Big day on a motorcycle my working dogs trotted and ran all day, i did 67 km. Mainly on grass and clay. I would say my younger ones did way more.
My trail dog ran hard on the downhill and trotted on the uphills, 30km.
Gravel forestry roads he tries to run on the grass.

@@Tony-dh curious what type of dogs you have... I'm looking into a good trail running dog, I don't MTB I trail run
Sick Video!!! Where did you get the "rubber-stick" from?
I'm thinkin' of having a French Poodle as a trail dog. 🐩
I’m thinking a corgi...
@@Michael-Martell Interesting! I've seen Corgis on the ranch as cattle dogs. Very capable they are!
The little pup is fast. The biker could barely catch up.
Do you ever take the pup on rockier trails?
Springador epic i have one too
wheres your helmet from?
Greta vid & top tips, thanks
well done.
How old is he?
How hard is it to not accidentally bump your dog when riding?
Totally depends on your dog and how controlled your riding is.
If your riding close to your dog then it’s probably inevitable that you will collide at some point which is why it’s important to work on training and position the dog where you want them.
I prefer having Ollie out in front so I know where he is but others prefer to have the dog follow.
Training is key and build up to riding at speed
@@OneTrackMindCyclingMagazine appreciate the help. Im considering getting a dog that can go on the trails with me the next time I get a dog (currently don't have a dog but I also don't have the time to train currently). For now I know I have to wait but this is helpful information. Appreciate your help.
