I love it thanks for posting. Just getting our 11month cocker into it. She still tries to nip at the tyres from time to time and starts barking when the going gets fast. She is learning though. No trail centres yet but we will get there.

Massively over-dogged for that trail...

awesome. Put a big smile on my face.
And it goes to show how much faster they think in that situation that we do. I've learnt a couple of things:
1. Dogs take awesome lines which includes between trees that you may or may not make it through if you follow.
2. Dogs choose the best routes at forks in the trail and if you opt for the other one you may well end up hanging by your chest off a barbed wire fence.

I really liked that, I was laughing all the way through ! How your dog takes the berms is soo nice. He just keeps coming back for more aswell! That's what Friday afternoons are for, 'round here - thanks!

How do you train a dog to run behind rather than trying to overtake and run in front? Anyone got any tips?

Pease that is quality. Cheers

Reminds me of this video:

Brian at Gisburn,
Took a few minutes for him to work out that walking in front of me whilst riding resulted in a sore nose, he now runs along side the rear mech,
Also takes different lines, each time.

thanks guys, im glad you liked it. i actually made a video for my girlfriend as she always wanted to know why he had a line of mud from his nose to his tail. it was ambrose that told me to post it up here..
as for franky, the first few times i took him out he tried overtaking me and then would stop infront of me. which isnt great i have to say. after a few rides and some gentle screaming he now run right by my back wheel on all decents. theres another small clip on my youtube channel of him and and another dog killing the trail.
for those that asked, it was cwm rhaeadr. im lucky to have it on my doorstep pretty much Posted 3 months ago # -

Re : first vid. No-one metioned that there were lots of tail whips.
What was that ? No, mine was cashmere with a black collar...

You really should teach him to go infront....and follow his lines!!

great vid, I really miss biking with my rottie
Posted 3 months ago # -
That's awesome, loved it at 1.02 when the dog looks left taking he's eyes off the track as if it's easy and a few of those cheeky 'racing lines'! Made me miss my old dog though
Posted 3 months ago # -
Great vid, looks really fun!
Out of interest how long can he keep up that pace and how long do yo ride for? Don't his paws get knackered by the flint etc on the ground?Posted 3 months ago # -
he will come on a 20k ride no worries. he is out with me most weekends either walking or cycling. im lucky in the fact he never has any problems with his pads. thats a 7k loop and he will do 2 laps at near that pace after that he stops more, but dont we all
hes not 4 years old yet so has far too much energy!!

really enjoyed that video, thanks very much. made me laugh and now i'm a bit sad as i mss my husky, Blu
Posted 3 months ago # -
Brilliant.
He has such flow, great lines, so relaxed he has time to look around. Takes it all in his stride. Good boy.Thanks for posting.
It's kewl the way he stays behind. He could have passed you lots of times. Is that something you taught him or does he do that naturally?

Excellent!
Looking forward to getting this one out with me when he's old enough (prob another 8 month or so yet)...
Posted 3 months ago # -
@stratobiker, ive taught him to stay behind me on the downs otherwise it can get a little sketchy!! ill be honest and say i have little control over him on the first climb of any ride tho
Posted 3 months ago # -
@pease - how did you get him to do that? Was he good on a lead before? I'd be interested to know your technique.
First climb of any ride? Yes, I can well imagine. He likes to go fast!
Posted 3 months ago # -
hes been brilliant from the word go. he was one and a half when we got him from a rescue house and seemed to have a basic understanding of commands. he does learn very quickly though especially when having his rear end rubbed by my front wheel
even if he does go in front i can make him heel and he will return to my side of behind me. just takes a bit of time and helps to have an awsome dog!!Posted 3 months ago # -
with my dog a lot of it is just the same as when she's being walked on the lead. mine's far from perfect, and makes the same sort of slip-ups when off the lead with the bike as she does on it walking. from an early age she was taught to get out of the way if she was in front, just by using 'move', and if she didn't she got a bit of interference.
she knows i'm not pi55ing about though if i'm on the bike and is generally very responsive to commands. if your dog is basically trained and will learn it comes pretty quick.

that's great, I wish I could get a dog. Maybe I could...
Posted 3 months ago # -
Thanks pease, Del. I'm currently working hard with my new girl. She's a quick learner, and a good girl. I'm almost starting from scratch as she hasn't had any training on a lead, and has been used to getting away with stuff by acting cute.
I've tried her around the garden with my bike. She likes it, but were a way off going out on the trails. We'll get there though.
@jimmy - why can't you get a dog?

I watched my collie absolutely nail a bomb hole the other day. Pre-jumped into it, Pre-jumped out of it. Proper racers line.
He can keep up with me for short bursts up to about 30mph.
