Do it its great,

First try and train direction commands, all you need to do is say left when you turn left and right when right they will soon get the hang of it. Then you want to think about stopping, on by (ignore distraction) steady and the command to get them going, i use "Hike".

You can use a Bikejor arm if you wish but a good gangline with a bungy is a must as well as a good pulling harness. I got both mine from ebay and the Harnessses were made to fit each dog. you can also use a neck line with two dogs but again its not something i use as the dogs like to change sides.

Its good to get them used to the gangline before attaching it to the bike so walk them on for a few times

Start steady and when it isnt to warm so mid morning onwards this time of year is a no no.

any specific questions Im more than happy to help.

thanks for the advice nathan i have a 2 dog line and 2 harnesses ordered    i cant wait to give this a go i have been teaching them commands such as left and right etc when i take them out , but things will have to wait for a week or two as buster has cut his paw tonight when out for a walk so hes all bandaged up

p.s the videos are amazing..

Great you will love it and so will the dogs. ony issue i had with the first couple of runs is that just wanted to play with each other. this resulted in a massive tangle lol. once they get going its amazing how fast they learn, i think its because they love it so much its easier to train. Good luck and enjoy and thanks re the vids

They are very clever dogs , will pick up on any comments so long as you are patient. Good luck with it. And agree with Nat, mid moring onwards Looks and sounds fun x
