Dog Scootering

Recently, I've starting teaching my dog to scooter. Actually, I started last fall using my kid's scooter and a leash. My friends encouraged me to get a helmet and I soon realized they were RIGHT! My dog quickly pulled faster than I was ready to go. So, I got a helmet....then realized I needed a scooter with better breaks. (OK, the kids scooter does have a brake, but I'm not talented enough to balance and use my foot to press the brake behind me). So, this week I got my NEW SCOOTER. It's a Diggler Dirt Dawg and it has brakes on the handles. I'm looking forward to more training this week.

I'm hoping that Scootering will be a fun and easy exercise outlet for both my dog and me. You should try it!

After the Sue Sternberg lecture, I'm dying to try it with one of our dogs. He loves to run and excels at pulling a leash. :)

I recently found a product that I consider to be a little safer than merely riding a regular scooter and/or bicycle with the dog attached by a leash. I was looking for something that would keep the dog behind me seeing as that is how I want him to walk when we are on a walk.

I am in no way associated with Mark Schutte or the website necessarily. I just saw the product and I think it's ingenious. I ordered one right away. My dog loves it. Check it out.
