Do you have a high-energy dog? Or perhaps you have a dog in need of some exercise. Scootering with your dog is great exercise for you and your dog. Besides better health, scootering can also offer great benefits for your dog’s behavior. Tired dogs are less likely to exhibit unwanted behaviors.

By spending time with your dog on a scooter, you can build a new relationship with your dog. You and your dog will become a team working together and your dog will have a sense of purposes. Your dog’s new job can involve helping you get places (need to take your child to school, take the dog). Dog and human both win from this sport.

A dog who is at least 35 pounds.
