1-6-11 Dazzle on his wheel.avi

This wheel is used for occasional exercise (when weather is bad). The wheel was built for Dazzle by my dad and the base was built by some great people at Home Depot. Dazzle really likes it! I originally taught him to roll the wheel across the floor (without the base of course). Then once the base was built, he seemed to have trouble getting it to roll consistently (very narrow balance point). I found that giving him the anchor point that is attached to his harness to pull and balance against really helped him. The wheel is ONLY powered by the movement of his feet. He gets to choose when to start and stop, though I often stop him before he is ready to stop. :-)

Flintstone power!  Cool harness - where did you get that?

@busybeedogs -- It's a "Yurkiw" from PetJoyOnline. I really like it! It's actually his service dog harness

Figure out how to hook that up to a generator and you can go off the grid.

@MerlinWylt -- I have considered hooking it to a generator :-)
