We think that those activities are a lot of fun and help create a fantastic bond between the owner and the dog. However, we all (humans & dogs) get that craving to try something new, exciting and fun!

In this blog, we will tell you about the extremely exciting & fun activity you can perform with your dog, which will keep you and your dog safe, happy and in great shape!

Dog Joring

Many readers might be reading about Dog Joring for the first time, whereas some might already know about it. Joring means 'driving' or 'pulling,' so dog joring is just that - having your dog pull or tow you along. There are many different types of joring, in this article we’ll cover Rollerblade (Rollerblladejoring). It's an extremely exciting & fun activity for you and your dog. Not to mention its rewarding, great exercise and it will strengthen the bond between you and your dog!

Let's look at some important things that you should keep in mind before you start rolling with your dog.

1) Your Dogs Jore-ability  

Most dog & breeds do not have a problem with joring - they actually love it! These dogs & breeds are physically fit, active and consider it their job to pull you along! A few breeds are reluctant to joring…so, before moving forward you should consider the size, strength, overall health and will of your dog.

2) Proper Dog Joring Equipment

Rollerbladejoring should never be performed using a standard dog collar, harness or leash. This could result in a severe injury to your dog and yourself. There are specially designed dog pulling harnesses and shock absorbing leashes that allow your dog to pull you safely. The dog pulling harness safely distributes the pulling weight over your dog and the shock-absorbing leash absorbs pulling shock when there are sudden tugs or yanks from stopping, pulling, etc.

Below are the items required to go Rollerbladejoring with your dog:    

·      Rollerblades

·      Dog Pulling Harness

·      Shock Absorbing Leash Attachment

·      Fresh Water

·      Travel Water Bowl

·      Helmet (Suggested)

·      Safety Gear (Suggested)

·      GoPro (Optional)
