Put treats on the bike, and praise him when he eats them.<\/p>\n<p>Give your dog treats anytime he is near the bicycle and being calm, and say the word, \u201cBike,\u201d or, \u201cGood boy, bike.\u201d This will form a connection in your dog\u2019s brain between your bike, the word \u201cbike,\u201d and good feelings.

You can incorporate treats, praise, and the word \u201chelmet\u201d into this routine, just like with\u00a0 the bike. We want your dog to recognize your helmet as just another everyday thing, and even a good thing, even though it changes your appearance slightly.<\/p>\n<h2>The Goal: Associate Bike Rides with Fun for Your Dog<\/h2>\n<p>Remember, dogs are very good at chaining events together. So the goal is that when you say, \u201cDo you want to go for a bike ride?\u201d or even when you go get your helmet or wheel your bike out of the garage, your dog will associate it with fun, pleasant experiences. Such as rewarding praise, getting to run, treats, and his favorite thing of all \u2013 spending time with you!<\/p>\n<p>The name of the game with incorporating your dog into your bike riding routine is to go very slowly with every step. This is a foreign, new thing to your dog, and one traumatizing experience can wreck it for a lifetime. Or at the very least, make trying it again extremely difficult.<\/p>\n<h2>What Factors Do I Need to Consider Before Starting to Train my Dog to Run Alongside my Bike?<\/h2>\n<h3>Physical Health of Your Dog<\/h3>\n<p>You may need to get your dog a complete physical by your veterinarian to make sure that he is healthy enough to run with you.<\/p>\n<h3>Microchips for Your Dog<\/h3>\n<p>This is also a good time to consider a microchip. This is in case you somehow manage to lose your dog while you are cycling. In case you think this is impossible &#8230; consider that a sudden loud noise might cause a normally calm dog to suddenly take off in panic. This is more likely with very young dogs, or dogs with anxiety issues about loud noises.<\/p>\n<h3>Vaccines for Your Dog<\/h3>\n<p>Also, consider whether or not you should get your dog any non-core vaccines, like Leptospirosis and\/or Lyme vaccines. Leptospirosis is often contracted in wooded areas that have standing water. Lyme Disease is transmitted by ticks, and is much more common in certain areas of the country.<\/p>\n<h3>Parasites<\/h3>\n<p>Also, you\u2019re probably already on top of this, but a flea\/tick\/intestinal parasite\/heartworm preventative is a must if your dog is going to be spending a lot of time outside.<\/p>\n<h3>Weather<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to consider the humidity and temperature where you\u2019re going to be cycling, and your dog\u2019s coat thickness and color (black and other dark colors attract heat).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not common, but heat stroke can happen in dogs, usually after they\u2019ve done some hard running. Never take your dog out for a bicycle ride on an extremely hot day.<\/p>\n<h3>One Size Does Not Fit All for Humans or Dogs<\/h3>\n<p>Keep in mind that smaller dogs do not have the stamina that larger dogs do, and tend to tire easily. If you have a toy or teacup breed dog, look into a covered bicycle basket, so that your dog can come with you, but doesn\u2019t have to run alongside you.<\/p>\n<p>Your veterinarian will take into consideration your dog\u2019s weight, age, and physical health to determine whether cycling with him is a good idea or not.<\/p>\n<p>If your dog is a puppy (under 18 months old, older in giant breeds), be sure to ask your veterinarian when his growth plates will close, so that his skeletal system will not be damaged by running on hard pavement or frozen ground. There is a link that has been found between excessive exercise in puppyhood and the development of hip dysplasia (see References).<\/p>\n<h2>How Do I Safely Cycle with My Dog?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>First, walk a few steps with your bike indoors, and encourage your dog to follow, lavishing praise upon him in happy, higher tones, while giving him treats.<\/li>\n<li>Add in your dog\u2019s harness and leash when he is comfortable, still inside the house.<\/li>\n<li>When your dog seems comfortable with that, try doing the same thing outside, on-leash (tied to bike seat post).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Eventually, you will be able to get on the bike, and, going slowly, ride with your dog walking alongside you.<\/p>\n<p>Over several days, <strong>add in some distractions<\/strong>. Go through a puddle, over a curb, a man-hole cover, grass, a speed bump, etc. If your dog reacts badly to any of these, stop for the day and revisit it tomorrow, slowly, with praise and treats. The goal is to make cycling with your dog fun, and not scary.<\/p>\n<p>Increase time, speed, and distance very slowly. Let your dog set the pace.<\/p>\n<p>At a normal cycling speed, your dog should be at a trot, and not a gallop.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Keep Your Dog Safe from Traffic when Biking<\/h3>\n<p>Keep in mind that you are required by law to cycle with traffic if you are on a road, and on your left side, your dog will be closer to the vehicles passing by. The safest option, if you absolutely have to be on a road with cars at all, is to train your dog to both walk and run while you are cycling on your right side, and cycle on the right side of the road.<\/p>\n<p>Work in training words for \u201cTurn,\u201d \u201cSlow,\u201d and \u201cStop,\u201d so that your dog knows what you are going to do, which will reduce the risk of a crash.<\/p>\n<h2>What Equipment Do I Need to Take My Dog on Bikes Rides?<\/h2>\n<p>Besides your bike, helmet, leash, and brightly colored biking clothes for your safety, you should always have a few other things on your person when biking with your dog. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two water bottles, one for each of you, and a small bowl for your dog to drink from<\/li>\n<li>Spare tire<\/li>\n<li>Tire pump<\/li>\n<li>Tire repair kit<\/li>\n<li>Cell phone<\/li>\n<li>Money<\/li>\n<li>Brightly colored, reflective collar and vest for your dog\u2019s safety<\/li>\n<li>Harness for your dog, to attach him to your bicycle<\/li>\n<li>Healthy <a href=\"https:\/\/dogfoodheaven.com\/what-can-dogs-eat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">treats<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.perfectdogbreeds.com\/how-to-choose-the-right-dog-food-for-your-furry-friend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dog food<\/a>, if you\u2019re going for a long ride, and a bowl<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Attachments to Help you Cycle Safely with Your Dog<\/h3>\n<p>When your dog seems pretty comfortable, work in a <strong>non-pull attachment <\/strong>that makes your dog less likely to pull you over. Two good ones on the market are: the Springer and the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MCzNFb\">WalkyDog Hands-Free Bicycle Leash<\/a>. They are designed to keep you and your dog safe, and include a quick release in case an obstacle comes between you and your dog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<table

Dog<\/h3>\n<p>It is important to carry dentification for you <em>and <\/em>your dog. Besides your own ID, you\u2019ll want a tag on your dog\u2019s collar with his name on it, your phone number, and your address. This is true even if your dog is microchipped.<\/p>\n<p>Microchips are only effective if a dog ends up at a shelter, veterinary office, police station, or other place that has a microchip scanner, which doesn\u2019t always happen. Plus, these places are not generally open 24 hours per day.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Considerations to Cycle Safely with Your Dog<\/h2>\n<p>A definite no-no is to cycle while holding your dog\u2019s leash, or to tie it to your handlebars. You can attach it to your seat post, which is the best out of these three options, but even better is to buy one of the attachments listed above to reduce pull to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p>Never, ever tie your dog to your bike, and then leave him alone. Chances are, he will pull the bicycle over on top of himself, or at the very least, become scared and tangled up with it, which could end his cycling career forever.<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line on How to Train Your Dog to Safely Run Next to You When You Are Cycling<\/h2>\n<p>Cycling with your dog can be a fun, easy way for both you and your dog to maintain your fitness and bond with each other.
