For those of your who may not know what Bikejoring is you can watch vid
I have decided to get into since I have a new Gun dog in training and need a method to wear him down in order to get some good training adhered.
Ruger is a one year old German short haired pointer that I got a month or so ago and been working with daily. the dog will run for more than 10 miles at a sustained speed over 25mph. he has more energy than any other gun dog I have trained and his pedigree is overwhelming. it seems no matter how much I let him run in front of the truck he wont tire (without injurying himself)
So I am going to start bikejoring untill the wether gets bad and start skijoring in the winter.
here is why I have found this may make a perfect fit for ruger. the commands you use to hunt with are the same commands you would use for a pulling dog, (right, left, whoa, mush, but I would range for the previous.)
not only would the dog be happy and have a great time it would also be learning basic commands for the field come bird season and getting more than sufficient exercise.
I have the basic kit for pulling in the mail and should be here soon. I plan on using my garmin edge to calculate the dogs power and progress during the rides and will be able to see results in numbers wich would be amazing from a trainers standpoint.
