I only use an ATV four wheeler. I would never use a vehicle as there are too many blind spots where you cannot see the dog.

Also, if the communication between handler and driver is one second too slow, it could end in disaster. It only takes the handler to say stop and the driver to say "what?" because they did not hear the first time for something to happen.

The other things that I see happening is the dog going under the rear wheels of the vehicle if it gets tired and lags too much, because, when the dog lags it will drop back and get closer to the vehicle if it is on lead. The next thing I see is the dog surging forward and getting caught with the front wheels of the vehicle due to being on lead.

I would not chance it. In the winter when it is freezing and I am thinking that I am going to get frostbite because of the temps, I still would not do it.....treadmill would prevail if I was to woos out of the ATV.

This is just my opinion though and others may differ. I just have too much into my dogs and others dogs and I would feel like a real asshole if I hurt one of them.

I agree with you 100%, Carol. More than 100%, if I could.

Besides the things you mentioned, if the dog fell, how would the vehicle stop quickly enough to keep the dog from being dragged?

That's what happened several years ago to someone who lives near me. The dog's front leg was mangled.
