So I wound up buying Lina a 6' bungee leash online which arrived last week. I already had a harness for her, so to complete the package I got a 4' longboard for me. The goal here is to have her run to get exercise while I tag along for moral support. BTW, I am NOT a runner...never have been, never will be - hence the longboard.
So we went outside yesterday afternoon after I got home from work to try it out. At first, she was a bit confused which is understandable. She's never done anything like this before. But after a few minutes, she started to get the hang of it. The next thing I know, I'm flying down the street with Lina sprinting at full speed. She had a big grin on her face & loved it!
What puzzled me is that every now & then, she would turn her head back while running and become a bit frightened. There were times where she was nipping at the board and even jumped up to nip me a couple of times.
Anyone know why she would do this? My guess is that she was scared and nipped out of fear. I also think that if we keep doing this on a regular basis, she would get used to it and enjoy it even more. Do you think this is accurate?
All in all, it was a good time. I think we're both looking forward to doing it again.
Thanks in advance!
