hi myschivous,when i ran my dogs in the forest i had a permit to train sleddogs for racing from the fc we had to stick to a perimeter on a map.could only go within that perimeter on approved trails.I used the ordinary trails.At the moment i run mishka with a springer device also, u can use any part of the forest if u are just running a dog with a bike.u dont need a permit to do that,i have a letter from the fc to say i can use the forest to exercise dogs with a bike as this isnt training to race. u can use footpaths in the forest to run your dog next to your bike ,just watch out for loose dogs &walkers!!I have pics of me& my dogs using the rig,i will post them onto the forum hopefully over the wkend.Do u run your dog in a tracking harness when on the springer device? i use 1 on mishka when shes running next to my bike.

Hi Rose...Thanks for writting and for your help / info I'm not sure what a tracking harness is??...I have just been using a regular walking harness with them at the moment.

louise this site is brilliant!!!! May decide to use this info if we ever want another rig,depending on how much it would cost.
thanx.

hi again myschievous ,a walking harness is more or less the same type of harness as the tracking one,u can get a tracking harness from SASS their tel no is 01842 878246 These harnesses have fleece put around the front part where the dog pulls!!I find the walking harness can be a bit uncomfortable for running in as it can rub on the dog underneath!!. Happy running rose& the gang

Thanks Rose..

We just decided to build one, in case Seiko didn't like it.. Which he doesn't Too mush like hard work!!! (thats my OH in the pics and my messy garden )

Hopefully our mal pup will be a proper sled dog

Edited to add our rig cost us £24...
