Training The Dogs To Accompany The Trikes

 

Song:  I'll Be Your Song

Group:  Heart

On this day's ride...

we kept it short, as it was to train the dogs to walk and run 

alongside the trikes.

As my younger sister will be handling the dogs during our rides...

(my elder sister will be hauling her dog...

and I will be towing my mother in her palanquin)...

I wanted her to train the dogs so she will be used to them running alongside.

At first...

the dogs were not used to walking alongside the trike...

but they soon adapted.

After a brief rest...

we went back home.

They at first walked...

but then my younger sister went faster...

and so...

the dogs started to run.

Going back up the hill...

they resumed walking.

Pulling in to home.

This was the first of many more rides in which the dogs will accompany us.

This is all in preparation for spring.

There are so many trails we wish to go on.

We will start out at Lake Tahoe...

and from there...

we will go on mountain trails.
