Walking your dog

[mustang1]

What is the correct English here:

If you're walking your dog, but are actually on the bike, does that mean you're riding your dog?

 

[Threevok]

Depends

If you have the lead tied to the handlebars, like my brother did, then I think it's called "Broken Collar Bone Waiting To Happen"

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

The dog is being walked

 

[Spiderweb]

If the dog is riding a bike then yes.

If the end result is it lying down in the middle of the Tissington trail and refusing to move until you fetch the car, in this house it's called 'breaking the dog'. My latest hound has no stamina.

You might be being taken for a ride.

Why don't you just pay someone to take your dog for a walk, then you don't need to worry about what the right terminology is.

"Riding with the dog"

I ride quite a lot with one of our two, they're both the same age, but the staffieXenglishbullXrottweiller (Moog) doesn't have the legs for it anymore, he just likes to pootle around at a slow pace. The staffieXpekingeseXamericanstaffie (Trip she's a very odd mix but that's birmingham dogs' home for you!) however still absolutely loves to run for hours on end! Cycling proved to be a really useful training tool for draining the energy out of her when she was 12mnths old bouncing off the walls and its really good fun.

I do miss being able to go out with both of them at the same time! I'll either take trip out by herself on the bike of if the four of us are going out together I'll often bring the bike along and my other half will keep an eye on the old lad whose priority is sniffing & pissing on all perimeters and tall things, whilst I zoom around with Trip.

If that's the case, I suggest you see a therapist

On my parkrun there are some regular dog runners.
The beagle is a good little runner being a hunting dog but the Dalmatian is amazing. It just cruises along without breaking a sweat and looks so smooth. They were bread to run along carriages for miles on end.
The little terriers seem to flag after a while.
