walking next to a bicycle

[sn33195]

I want to start teaching our 1 1/2 year old NAID to walk and run next to me on the bicycle.
I am guessing I would start out by both of us walking next to the bike and then eventually me getting on the bike.
I was wondering if you had any suggestions to help me start.

Also, when we do start walking/running next to the bike while I am riding do I tell her to heel?

If you get the right attachment for your bike it safer and easy - very little room for error and no need to do a formal "heel". There are all kinds of companies that make things like in the video below



I personally LOVE this idea. Easier, safer, and the dog does even more work!
