My step-dad goes running often, so I decided to go with him today, and I would walk Jackson around the path while he ran... Jackson was having NONE of that. He wanted to run!

So my step-dad was like "Give me the leash!" so I handed him over... Jackson ran RIGHT beside him 3x around the football field. He did awesome! Ya know how sometimes dogs are criss-crossing all over, and tripping you, he just ran right beside him, it was the cutest thing. I've never seen a little dog like that, haha, generally you see Labs, etc running with their owners. It just looked really funny to see this big guy running with a 13lb Yorkie. I guess I need to start jogging!

I'm more of a walker, personally, haha. I have rollerbladed and rode a bike with Jackson before which he loved so I guess I should've known he'd love a good run with "Daddy!"

Way to go Jackson!! Now would you drop Apple a line and tell her how it's done...lol...I'm not running, but I sure wish she'd just get w/the program and just walk walk walk, instead of walk, sniff, pee, repeat lol...Cute story, Britster....

sweet apple, I know your pain! Joey and Tank cannot survive until they have peed on everything they can...they even try to pee when they are out. Eventually on our walks I can't stand it anymore, so I just won't stop, even when they want to. Joey and Tank like to chase. Unfortunately, i don't think that's very good behavior. I have 6 and 7 year old brothers, and they think it's the greatest to be chased by my 4 and 5 lb little monsters, but I don't think I want them to learn that it's ok to chase kids...

LOL, aww, Apple!! Don't listen to your mama, you keep sniffing and peeing lol. Jackson loves a good sniff & pee himself

lol. He's a great walker though. The Easy Walk harness helped us sooo much. He will walk right beside me now on every walk, it's awesome. Of course I give him lee way at times to sniff and pee, etc but he just loves a good, nice walk. Have you ever tried a harness like that?! He kind of just re-directs them.

Sounds like Jackson is a good runner.

Would love to see pics next time.

That is great! Mine love to run, while I rollerblade but not for long- Ryder gets pooped out and thats the end of that! It is so cute when they love to go!

What does that harness do? She doesn't run ahead of me, well, not usually, it's stopping so much...Like Joey & Tank's mom, I also get fed up w/it, and just make her come w/me, after about 10 15 min. of sniffing...We walk 1/2 hr. or so twice a day, and I'm looking forward to the day when it's more walking, and less sniffing Btw, seeing kids, up ahead on the sidewalk, gets her going, and I love it lolol....

Ohhh gotcha! Yeah, the harness is basically to stop the pulling, you attach the leash on the front rather than the back and it makes it so they redirect but if she's not a puller, it wouldn't really do anything lol. That's so cute about the kids. Jackson will do the same thing but once they come down to pet him, nu-uh, he hides behind Mommy.

Lol, so cute. The few times I've taken Jackson rollerblading he seems to get pooped out fast too, that's why I was surprised he lasted so long!

Yeah, what is that!!! Apple is all about running up to the kids, doing wild circles around and around, but she's not about getting petted...Then I get embarassed, because she's acting like a nut-case, and won't settle down and have to move on ....

So, TODAY... there's a track/football field up at a near-by high school, it's completely fenced in. So I let Jackson off leash in there and he followed my step-dad around the whole track and nearly ran a MILE. He was soooo fast.

1) You can barely see him, but that's Jackson, professional goalie!

2) Relaxing!
3) Future quarterback!
