"Exploitative of dogs"? Be serious. The dogs are having fun. News flash: dogs aren't people, and they don't have the same ideals as people. Also, who the hell are you to say what is or isn't a sport? Websters defines a 'sport' as: "a source of diversion" or "physical activity engaged in for pleasure", which this certainly is. Jump off your high horse and go back to your supposed 50+ miles a week...

That's quite an assumption. You apparently treat your dogs like people, which is psychologically abusive.

I wonder what's more "cruel". Owning a malamute/husky and treating like a lap dog, or owning a malamute/husky and getting it to do what it was born to do. Pull. Come on, people!
-
but what do you do if they see a kitty; and what do you do if there are loose dogs? The two main problems...

I've got 2 Alaskan malamutes puppies.... I think this is a fantastic way of exercising the dogs and have researched scootering and trike sledding and it is in no way abusive towards dogs. Any sensible dog owner would not abuse their pet but infact give it what it really needs.... good healthy exercise. I want my dogs to enjoy their breeds history of pulling sled's. Great vid.

nice dogs it looks so fun to ride and do with your dogs i have a boarder collie he is 8 and loves to pull me on a plane razor scooter he loves to run to. do you think he is too old to learn scootering

I dog scooter!
A husky simply will NOT be as happily fully exercised by simple walking. They want to go much faster than YOU could ever run. And they WANT to pull; it's in their nature.
Huskies and other "working breeds" NEED a job to be truly happy.
A fast dog will take a scooter up to 20mph and may try to go faster whether or not you want to . You don't have to ORDER them to run. You "let them know it's OK".

Running your dogs doesn't work them at all. They're just running. If you own a working breed, they need to WORK. Scootering is one way to let them do exactly the kind of work they love to do. The dogs in this video are huskies, which are not only a working breed, they were bred specifically to pull. Sleds, scooters, whatever.
It's what they were born to do, and it's what they LOVE to do. I hope you don't have a working breed and are denying them the chance to work.

omg why r u making those dogs pull a 600 pound person.
sk8halo3 2 years ago
Heh...funny, seeing as it was a relatively light female in the video. 600 pounds indeed. You would be shocked if you found out how much weight dogs really could pull if given proper harnesses and the weight was on wheels. (6,500-7,500lbs is common, btw.)

Duh, uh. My dog loves to exercise...right by my side on my daily jog, usually about 7-8 miles per day. I'm not too lazy to get off of my butt or my butt-head scooter. And, this is NOT a `sport'. It is exploitative of dogs. Whatever. Just DO NOT COME into MY LANE. (`Oh', and don't forget to leave your brains at home.) Duh uh, DUMB!

As mentioned, not everyone can jog. And not everyone likes to jog. The dogs have a BLAST! I can't hold my dogs back when the harnesses come out. As for lazy - uh, no - the person is working very hard too - it's not a free ride.

how is the person working? there standing on a scooter while the dog does all the work

This is an instructional video, and as such is on generally level and flat streets. Many of us like to do this on bike trails and 2-tracks - basically anywhere with hills is going to require the person to do a fair amount of work.
Besides, sure, maybe you COULD just stand on the scooter and let the dogs do the work, but that isn't how most people do this sport.
