dogs and bike how long?

Hi
im teaching michael to run at the side of my bike he is so full of beans.
how long should he be doing it for??
his pad is a little sore today the best way to describe it is worn a little not bleeding or anything

I suppose it depends on the type of surface they are running on. I only did a few minutes at a time with my two, to build it up gradually. I haven't been out for ages because the Walkydog keeps moving and I want to buy the Springer.

You need to build up their fitness gradually, and really trotting is better than running, at least untill their fitness is very high. I am doing upto 8 miles with 2 of my Borders, they are not tired when we get back, but do sleep well!

Thanks for that, he is really enjoying it, today when i got his harness he ran srt8 to the shed for the bike lol
i have done 30 min for the past 3 days but that isnt none stop dont lots of transitions and turing (he doing really well goes left when i say seft etc)
the surface is a mixture of grass and hard.
he isnt running tbh more of jogging i have only been using the 1st 7 gears on my bike to keep the speed down
