When going to some not-so-far places, many people choose bicycles as a means of transportation, which is both eco-friendly and can exercise the body. Dogs stand at the door, looking at their owners eagerly, also wanting to go out and play. If they could ride bicycles, that would be great. Actually, dogs can be taught to ride bicycles as well. Today let's see how to train dogs to ride bicycles? What are the techniques for dogs to ride bicycles?

How to enable dogs with this ability? The method is very simple, just a little training is enough. When you are about to go out riding a bicycle or motorcycle, the dog will anxiously circle beside your vehicle, eager to jump on and go with you. At this time, you only need to pick up the dog and place it in the front storage basket. Once you start riding the bicycle, the dog will lie obediently in the basket looking around, moving forward with you. But you need to be careful to hold the handlebars firmly and keep the ride smooth.

If it is a scooter, you only need to get the dog used to sitting on your scooter’s footboard. After mounting the scooter, give the command "get on", and the dog will gladly jump onto the scooter’s footboard and sit on it. During the ride after starting the engine, the dog will not jump off. Additionally, there is a more advanced bicycle performance skill, allowing you to ride inside a performance arena while training the dog to jump onto your back and then ride on your shoulders. Although dogs are very agile, the training requires persistence and stamina. Not all dogs have the ability for this performance, and at the end, the dog jumps down from the trainer’s left side.

Start training by having the dog sit on a sturdy table or a platform similar to a table. With your back to the dog, slightly bend forward and give the command "up", carefully moving the dog onto your back so that the dog’s front legs rest on your shoulders. Walk back and forth like this, awarding the dog frequently to eliminate doubts. After walking around for a while, gently place the dog back on the platform for it to jump down, then give plenty of rewards.

Keep practicing carrying the dog back and forth and make signaling gestures to train the dog to climb onto you comfortably and without worry. Continue training until the dog can jump from the table to your back without assistance. At that time, you can try having the dog jump from the ground to your back without the table. At first, to prevent the dog from jumping from far away, you still need to slightly bend over. When the training improves, you can gradually straighten your legs. Finally, just a slight bend is enough. Continue carrying the dog back and forth, constantly rewarding and eliminating doubts. After some time, the dog will treat this training as hunting big prey and eagerly jump onto your shoulders at the command "up".

Do not rush or hastily add the bicycle during training; the main goal at this stage is to enable the dog to jump from the ground onto your back and ride on your shoulders, feeling comfortable and free while you move back and forth. When this ability is achieved, bicycle training can begin.

As mentioned earlier, lean your body as far forward as possible and give the command "up" to let the dog jump onto your back. At this stage, do not ride the bike, but sit on it and let the dog sit on your back for a few minutes. At first, place your left hand behind to support the dog’s hindquarters. When the dog gets confident, the support is no longer needed. Allow the dog to jump down after about a minute. Always pay attention not to hurt the dog under any circumstances. When the dog is confident, jumping from you sitting on the bicycle to your back is no problem, indicating that the dog begins to enjoy this activity. When this ability is reached, you can start riding the bicycle forward, but at first, don’t ride too fast or for too long, and keep a straight line. Finally, whether you ride in a straight line or turn in circles, the dog can ride on your shoulder, and you can gradually increase your riding distance and circle turns.
