Cycling along the Mosel River with a dog.

I have one of these - branded 'DoggyHut' and this season have seen quite a few more on CAMC sites. A great idea for a holiday with your dog!

I can understand elderly or infirm dogs, good idea

Do you take them for walkies also?

We have used one of those, except we had two dogs in it and it was quite hard work, good for toddlers and babies too. The New Forest was a favourite area for us. If you go down to the Camel Trail in Cornwall you can hire them for pets or children. Nice pics Chris, thanks. 

Oops-saw post title and thought this was what you meant!

Our dog still gets his morning, late afternoon and evening walks, also he gets a walk while out cycling, lock the bikes up and have a walk around the local town etc. 

Do you take your own or do you hire it from the site?  We are not cyclists but like the Mosel Valley.  We usually stay at Camping Bergen, a little further up towards Cochem - we've been going here off and on for well over 30 years.

We have been considering how to move around with our pup, whilst away. She is now 15 months old and a little darling. We have taken her away already, the first time when she was only a few months old, on a European trip. It was a nightmare..... how naïve we were!!! We have pushbikes and tried a basket on one of them, which soon proved futile. So, now we are re thinking how we might be able to take her out with us for longer trips than a dog walk would manage. The little cart looks ideal, but how do you transport it? Would it work as well with electric bikes, if possible at all? I'm assuming the answer is "no!", but is there any way of transporting a smallish dog with a moped..... please don't mock!!!

Em -- Do dogs not have legs ?. 

When we used our bikes on dedicated cycle paths, our dog trotted along side and if the path was busy I used a 2 meter lead which ensured that the dog could be brought close if required.  Dogs need exercise just as we humans do.

Then why not do it properly and walk with the dog, thereby ensuring its not an enforced trot led by a cycle. As you know they will ignore signs of problems and trot till they drop, at least exercise when walking with them they have the choice to stop or slow down.

Sorry, I'm not in agreement with cycling with a dog running/trotting alongside.

Dogs love exercise, IMO It's much better to allow them to trot at their own pace, than to stick them in a child's buggy and tow them about everywhere. Sorry M , but I'm not in favour of dogs in child's buggies, unless they are seriously ill, in which case, should the dog really be going on holiday at all.?.
