Equally important is your monitoring of your dog's level of exhaustion. Dogs tire, too. Although it's okay to push your dog from time to time, allowing him to set the pace is the best to understand how he's doing. Skaters across the globe are enjoying the new phenomenon of skating with their furry friends. Not only does it provide great exercise for large and active pets, but it can give you a more intense workout, as well.
Harnesses come in many forms.
Decide first whether you want your dog to pull you or skate along side of you. If your dog will be lugging your weight around, pick up a padded harness that will protect his shoulder from strain and rubbing injuries. If your dog will be skating by your side, the traditional nylon or leather harness will work fine. You have several options when it comes to leashes. The traditional leash that you hold works well for some, while others prefer a hands-free model, that hooks to your waist.
