David Chau Webboard User Reg: 09-04-2003 Posts: 157 Loc: Offline	Wow - I haven't been on the forum for a long time. I owe a lot to this forum when I first got my dogs. They're CGC now and great pets. I'm not sure this is quite "working", but it gives my GSD something to do. I just wanted to share some info in case anyone WANTS your dog to pull you around.

I'm trying to picture uncoordinated me in Heelys and my spaz dog,True, careening out-of-control down the road in front of the neighbors. Shock and awe! True

I can tell em to stop, but by that time I'll already have lost my balance.

David Chau Webboard User Reg: 09-04-2003 Posts: 157 Loc: Offline	HAHA - well .. like any working dog, he has to be trained for the task. Funny story - one time I went to play volleyball. I brought my pup. He sat at the edge of the field to watch. I needed to get something from my car across a huge parking lot. So I latched his leash and told him to pull me back to the car. Like an idiot, I didn't have my wheels in. You can image THAT was fun. After hearing an aweful thump, he looked back at me with a face like "did you MEAN that??" Yeah .. I'm supposed to be like, the higher intelligence being. LOL. The dog knows to be aware of where I am in relation to him and traffic. There's a lot I'm not teaching. We've been seeing kids try it more and more. Some are using collars, and dogs that chase cars. I figured that someone should get some info out there. If I hit the brakes on my skates, he knows to stop - its a non-verbal command. Thanks for looking and replying! MDHZ http://www.chautown.com Nip me once, shame on you! Nip me twice, shame on ME!

MDHZ You have finally piqued my interest enough that I'm going to attempt to watch the 5 min video from my dial-up connection.... It'll take about an hour and a half to be able to watch it all in one piece. Oh wait, I got the first 30 seconds in about 6 segments, it only took 15 min. Looks like fun! But I would definitely need all the protective gear. And I would have to go to town for the concrete, of course then I could practice injuring myself in front of lots of people. I think I'll just download the video instead.

Skating with your dog isn't for everyone. But for high energy people and high energy dogs, its a match made in heaven! David Morris - Thanks!! We also play frisbee. http://www.chautown.com Nip me once, shame on you! Nip me twice, shame on ME! Handlers have responsibility!
