So I figured this would be a cool idea I might try. I have not seen anyone use it. Take a jog or bike ride with the dog but you can add a speed training parachute. It adds about 30 lbs of resistance. When I do it- I will keep you all posted should I try it. Feel free to chime in.

Macho, I can already see the local ASPCA or Ct police questioning the practice... lmao.

But if it works for athletes in every sport, why not give it a go... keep us posted!

Indeed. I think it looks better than having them drag stuff around lol. It seems like alot of fun lol. Hell I might get onefor myself Too.

sounds cool.... pheonix would be the only one i could do that with cause the others would jerk me off a bike!!! let me know how it works if you try it

 

[Mach0]

Yea man- besides chutes are like 25 bucks lol

 

[dixieland]

I'm kinda curious about this one.I'll be looking forward to the update about it.

 

[Mach0]

I'm gonna look at one online. It should be fun. Its all resistance training.

 

[PatienceFlame]

sounds interesting enough. I don't really condition my dogs, I just play with them but this should be cool for a later read and see how it does work out for you and your boy.

 

[Mach0]

Yea I think I'm going to try it just for fun lol

 

[ashes]

that sounds awesome I'm really interested to see how that works out for you guys. Keep us posted

That's a cool idea man, I picture your dog in some under armour gear with the chute flying behind creating drag having to work to run! lol Post up some pics or a vid if you can that would be awesome to see. I used to have my girl pull me on the skateboard, I found the skateboard to be the safest because if I ever needed to stop of a dime all I had to do was ditch the board. I never had any bad experiences but I learned through my brother's failure that rollerblades are no good, our old boxer drug him about half a block before I got him to stop! lmao

What about fetch with a chute? dont have to worry about the bike accidents. Gives the dig a rest on recall then on full sprint out to retrieve the added load is enforced... I dont have a bike, but a alternate with your idea

 

[Mach0]

Thanks guys. Jimmy, that should work. I wasnt planning for nothing crazy. I have good control over my boy- i might invest in some rollerblades to avoid a possible bike accident lol.

Hmm don't know about everyone else but I have a picture in my mind of the dog turning and grabbing that chute..lmao I have a few very high prey drive dogs that I could see having a BLAST trying to get the chute instead of running..lmao

Love the idea!! I do a little bike riding with some of my dogs during conditioning and could really see that making a difference!!

 

[MY MIKADO]

This is something I should look into for Vendetta. Never thought of thanks for saring.

 

[Mach0]

Thanks

Stacia- both my dogs have a crazy prey drive lol. Only one who is concerned about what's behind him is my GSD. For the most part- once they move forward, they won't look back. Im really pumped. I'm probably going to order this chute over the next week or so.

This is a awesome idea Mach0. Onyx loves laser tag, i will hook it to his working harness and taje him to mom's house my parents have 1/2 acre should be plenty for that
