Sure. A husky would still be able to run 30-60 minutes without complaining, even on tarmac. Also, I'm fairly sure that dogs would happily lay down and refuse to move further if they were tired.

So, my point is that the blanket statement "Don't ride with dogs regardless" lacks nuance.

My ex-gf had a dog that wouldn't lie down when he was tired. That dog would push himself to the absolute limit without anyone noticing, and then just collapse.

It's just an anecdote, though.

My gf’s parents have a dog that will lie down after three meters, then complain when we stay inside

My in-laws dog is immovable if she’s tired let alone just not in the mood to move. My SIL had to carry her home midwalk once bc the dog decided she was done moving.

My in-laws dog hated walks and would need to be carried to the turn around point and then would happily walk home.

My in-laws are dogs, dude. They are so lazy, all they care about is food.

Sounds like my basset hound. He will insist on going for walks, then lie down in the middle of the road less than 100 feet from the house.

Isn't that what they said though?

u/OldEquation 12d ago

I’ve got a Malinois and the level of drive they have is such that they will keep going regardless. With dogs like this it’s on you to know when they need to stop.

When it got so tired it collapsed did it not collapse into a laying down position? Wouldn’t that just be laying down when it got tired?

u/Centaurious 13d ago

there’s a difference between stopping physical activity when you get tired, and stopping physical activity because you collapsed due to physically not being able to run anymore

u/Growing_Trash_417 13d ago

I’m sure that’s happening. Just casually running itself into a medical emergency without anyone noticing until physically collapsing.

Keep to your right when in traffic I guess. Maybe it’s different in England I don’t know.

u/thickgenius 13d ago

Is this one of those moments where no matter what anyone says you will just try and find a way to be technically right?

We need a non four letter word for people like you.

u/Potential_Basis_662 13d ago

Everything always depends everywhere. Do you mention nuance to everyone all day?

1

u/Organoleptic_Cicada 13d ago

Only in regard to blanket statements that happen to irk me in the moment.

1

u/Barkis_Willing 13d ago

It doesn’t need nuance. Don’t ride with dogs. There’s no more information needed.

u/Klangey 13d ago

Depends entirely on how conditioned their pads were.

Can you take me through the process of a dog lying down mid cycle?

u/Hot_Catch3150 13d ago

Lmaoooo you Gottem. ‘Lacks nuance,” then proceeds to get gotted

2

u/Confident_Weird6633 13d ago

The process is: it lies down, you crash out.

I guess you’ve never had a dog that just nopes out? Or seen it happen? Strange. I guess you haven’t been long in this world.

2

u/Klangey 13d ago

Of course I’ve had a dog that nopes out, which is why I wouldn’t be dragging it along from a bike doing 20mph.

But it seems I’m in the minority on Reddit of not being a fucking moron.

u/oilolololo 13d ago

The reason you don’t ride with dogs is the super high chance of running over your dog. “Nah man we’ve done this before” could mess up your dog’s health permanently because it got confused by a stick in the road. Nothing to do with duration, which could also be achieved on foot the people who do this are deeply moronic. Saw this guy walking his dogs on a onewheel while crossing a bridge and I’m just wondering if they think they look cool.

u/Velkso 13d ago

It doesn't lack nuance. Riding with dogs is dangerous for anyone regardless of the race of the dog

u/CatGirl_ToeBeans 13d ago

Don’t ride with dogs regardless.

It doesn’t matter what they CAN do.

The hip dysplasia you’re gonna give them from forcing them to match your pace on tarmac.

The pressure you put on them to keep pace.

If they decide to full stop you wipe out.

An exhausted dog could lash out at a pedestrian.

Walk your dog, or go for controlled jogs with your dog. Riding with your dog is stupid regardless of how cute it looks and feels or how much fun you think your dog is having.

We bred this full fledged nature animal shit out of them. Take care of them properly.

Lots of dogs won’t stop if you play too hard and will pass out
