Does the basset jog????

Barney'spal · 09-18-2011, 12:38 PM

Every morning when we go for our sniff, sit, lay down walk, I wonder about the gentleman who wanted to train his basset to run with him. Have I missed an update? If he has accomplished this, I need to get some pointers. I'm too old to jog but every now and then would like to go in a straight line, especially when it's raining.

I learned to jog with a basset years ago. He didn't learn to go my pace, I learned to go at his pace. Zig, Zag, Stop.

The only way I have been able to accomplish any resemblance of a fast walk or jog is to take the exact same route every time...the smells become more familiar so she doesn't have to stop as often.
