Emmabe Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I want to walk my Tibbie beside my mobility scooter to exercise him - we live in the country and have very wide nature strips - but using a lead he tries to cross and I am afraid he will get under the wheels - he has little traffic sense!! Has anyone done this ? If so what attachment did you use and where did you fit it on the scooter - bearing in mind its a large Bolwell 4 wheel scooter.

sheena Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Some people use these, but not sure where you would attach it to a scooter Dog/Bike Trainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuralPug Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'd like to ask how long is the lead you are using? Is there a way to shorten the leash so that he doesn't have enough extra leash to cross in front of your mobility device? I understand that this breed can be quite stubborn, which is why I haven't automatically advocated getting someone to train the dog to walk quietly on a loose lead at their side, and then transfer this training to the mobility scooter, which would probably be the best method.

mita Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I understand you want your tibbie to get a walk beside the mobility scooter ... but I admit I've only seen tibbies riding on the floor tray! You could tap into the experiences of a few thousand tibbie owners from around the world (including Australia) by joining the Tibetan Spaniel All Over group (a Facebook page). Maybe some other owners have found a solution. PM me if you're interested in that. Sheena's device looks interesting ... maybe a local motor mechanic could figure a way to attach it????

Loving my Oldies Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Some people use these, but not sure where you would attach it to a scooter Dog/Bike Trainer Believe it or not, I immediately thought of a rigid pole with a bit of lead on it so the dog could be better controlled ----- and there it is, already thought of and designed. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
