Skate With Your Dog

If you are a good inline skater, you should be able to skate with your dog. "Dog Skating" is not easy, but dogs and their owners do love it!

"Dog Skating" Tips:

1. Try to find a place away from cars and traffic when you first practice skating with your dog.
   
2. Wear a helmet, wrist guards, and elbow and knee pads.
   
3. Be aware that dogs like going fast, so maintain control of the speed you skate and don't allow the dog to pull too hard on the leash.
   
4. Make sure the dog knows that you are the boss when you skate and be prepared to fall.
